A CHAMPION Kickboxer will travel to Westminster Palace by special invitation to be presented with a BCA medal.

Tyler Ford will be met by the Lord Dholakia OBE, before attending a medal presentation dinner.

The medal will be presented to Tyler by Ashley Banjo, of Diversity, before he is taken on a lap of honour.

The award is being presented to Tyler in recognition of the positive impact he has had on society and to other children.

Tyler runs his own charity events, raising money to help other children.

His last event raised enough money to buy a new medical pump for the cancer unit at Birmingham Children’s Hospital.

Tyler, whose family are from Ammanford, is a pupil at Pony Y Brenin Welsh School in Gorseinon.

He is a triple gold medalist in martial arts.
