Amber tells Awakening, “I first started training Thaiboxing at the age of 3. I grew up around this life style in the gym as my dad/coach (Nathan Kitchen) was the gym owner who always trained my mum (Julie Kitchen) which meant I went to the gym every night with them. My first junior fight was age 9 in 2008 and my most recent win was in LA aged 18 in 2017. I am interested in moving in MMA so I have started training to hopefully fight in a couple of years.”
