A young girl who has Down's Syndrome is celebrating after receiving a BLACK BELT in mixed martial arts.

Eva Hardy, who is just eight-years-old, has risen through the ranks in the sport in just three years to complete a family set of black belts with her supportive mum Lisa, 46, and sister Maria, 14.

The fighting youngster has been training together with her family in Martial Arts since 2013, with Lisa and Maria both receiving their first degree black belts in 2016.

Beaming Eva was presented with her black belt in November during a huge ceremony and is hoping to carry on through the steps to increase her rank in the sport - with opportunity for up to ten more steps on the ranking ladder.
