Freya Marsh Honoured at City Hall Following World Title Win
Waterford’s rising MMA star Freya Marsh was honoured at a special mayoral reception in City Hall this week following her gold medal win at the IMMAF World Championships in Abu Dhabi.
Just 12 years old, Freya dominated the tournament, winning all her matches by submission, including a dramatic rematch in the final.
Her world title crowns an outstanding year that also saw her take gold at the European Championships in Serbia and Rome, along with a national boxing title with Tramore Boxing Club.
Freya was praised as a role model and an inspiration, with tributes paid to her clubs, coaches and family. Her story is also featured in the acclaimed documentary Freya: Beyond the Mat, produced by Junglehouse.
