Ryan Curtis wins Fighter of the Year award after overcoming severe injury

Ryan Curtis has won the Fighters’ Fighter of the Year award, returning to the mats less than a year after a severe spinal injury left him facing the possibility of never walking again. He received the award at Fight Academy Ireland, where he was injured. In January, Curtis suffered a broken neck and back during a training accident. After extensive rehabilitation and support from teammates and fans, he regained his ability to walk by summer. He has since made public appearances and attended fight events. During the award ceremony, Curtis expressed gratitude to his supporters and emphasized the importance of loyalty during tough times. He reflected on his journey and the personal growth he experienced through his challenges.
