A teenager who weighed nearly 30 stones has turned his life around and lost more than a third of his bodyweight thanks to professional wrestling.
Kayden Fraser, who has Asperger’s syndrome, was one of Scotland’s most obese children after gaining weight due to bullying which saw him reach 29st.
But the 15-year-old has shed 11st and is healthier and happier since joining Glasgow School of Wrestling in October 2022.
…
At Accies’ Stadium show Kayden’s journey reached a pinnacle when he shared the ring with Hornswoggle.
Kayden wrestled in front of 400 people in an eight-man tag-team match.
He has drawn huge inspiration from Hornswoggle, who, at just 4ft 4in, spent about 10 years in the WWE as a leprechaun-style character and overcame his own physical hurdles to achieve success in the ring.
