Notable Most wins on StreetBeefz UK; considered the face of the promotion

Jake Harrington was one of the first fighters to compete on StreetBeefz UK and has been the promotion's most consistent performer. His amateur boxing background gives him a technical edge over most opponents. His only loss came against a late-notice replacement who outweighed him by 20 lbs.
