KICKBOXING champion Gary Hamilton will hear a different kind of bell ringing today – a wedding bell!

The 26-year-old will stand his ground at the City Hall in Belfast today ( Saturday 18 March )as he marries his Belfast sweetheart Andrea McAllister, before heading off for a well-earned break in the Bahamas.
Only last Sunday Hamilton was back in the kickboxing ring, returning to winning ways with a win over fellow Belfast-man Aubrey Tarr at the Hilton Hotel.
But he’s met his match in Andrea, who is also a budding kickboxing star.
The pair met at Billy Murray’s famous Prokick Gym in east-Belfast and their head coach now reckons he’s one-up on Cilla Black.


“They’ve been trying to get weddings on Blind Date for ages but we’ve had a few weddings through people meeting at the Prokick Gym,” said proud former four-time world champion Murray.
“Gary and Andrea are a great couple and she is very supportive of his career. She is also talented fighter and will make her mark this year.”
Blushing groom to-be Hamilton said: “I was more nervous going into the ceremony than I would be going into the ring. I’m used to performing in front of packed halls but even with a few people in the City Hall I will be shaking!”
