High-flying Chloe is top of the chops!
THIS talented Sheffield teenager will be competing with the best at the World Cadet Kick Boxing Championship - thanks to a generous donation from a city businessman.
Chloe Michael, aged 14, from Waterthorpe, will represent her country in the non-contact, performance martial arts discipline, in Belgrade, Serbia, between September 19 and 26.
The teen was struggling to fund the trip until businessman Bharet Patel, who owns the KFC franchise in Sheffield, pledged 500.
Westfield School pupil Chloe said: "My friends don't realise how big this is. They think I'm just going on holiday but it will be hard work."
Chloe trains at Excel Academy studio in Holbrook, set up by Liam Richards, from Britain's Got Talent finalists Strike.
He said: "She is a very determined and I think she will do really well."
