The lineage

Built at LMA. Ready for what's next.

A world champion's influence. A fighter's standard. A coach's responsibility.

Son of World Champion Paul Lynch, Charlie Lynch-Spence represents the next generation of elite talent at Team LMA.

Having grown up on the mats and earned his black belt at Leeds Martial Arts, Charlie progressed to become the UK & Ireland No. 1 Amateur Lightweight and the EMMA Four Nations Tournament Champion.

Charlie is moving from amateur competition towards the professional stage. He brings the same striking, grappling and hard rounds back into every session he coaches at LMA.

Paul's influence

The same standard that built a champion now shapes the next one.

Charlie's edge

Technical, composed and relentless when the work starts.

From the mats to the cage

One standard, four chapters.

01

Grew up on the mats

Charlie learned the rhythm of the academy from the inside: early starts, hard rounds and the people who make LMA what it is.

02

Earned his black belt

At Leeds Martial Arts, years of consistent work became a mark of technical depth and responsibility.

03

No. 1 in the UK & Ireland

Charlie became the UK & Ireland No. 1 Amateur Lightweight and the EMMA Four Nations Tournament Champion.

04

The next professional chapter

Now Head MMA Coach and Team LMA Fighter, he brings that competitive standard back into every coached session.

Competitive power, coached daily

The work is visible.

Inside the cage, the standard has to hold. Back at the academy, it has to be shared.
