Chelsea legend Gavin Peacock's one-handed son Jake beats the odds to become a professional Muay Thai fighter - despite being born without a right hand

Chelsea and QPR legend Gavin Peacock's son Jake has defied the odds to become a professional Muay Thai fighter - despite being born without a right hand.

The Peacock family moved to Canada in 2008 when Gavin turned from football pundit to preacher, becoming a pastor at a church in Calgary soon after.

With the family now settled on the other side of the Atlantic, it is son Jake who is rising to fame in a sport far more dangerous than the one his father succeeded in.
