Cage fighters' stag night web hit - Update

Cage fighters picked on because they were dressed as women for a stag night, say they are surprised that CCTV of the incident has become an internet hit.

Daniel Lerwell and James Lilley, of Swansea, were out in the city in August when they were confronted by two drunk men as they walked down the street.

CCTV shows the fighters, in skirts and wigs, easily floor the assailants who have since been given community orders.



"They picked the wrong guys," said Mr Lerwell.

The pair, whose fighting names are "Lights Out" Lilley and "Lion Heart" Lerwell, were on their way to join around 10 fellow cage fighters in a nightclub when they were picked on.

"I saw these boys go up to James and start calling him names, and then he was hit," said 23-year-old Mr Lerwell, a plumber. "I wasn't really thinking, it was just instinct really."
