Roy Knight is part of a wrestling family known the world over. In 2019 the irrepressible Knights of Norwich went from council estate to Hollywood with the release of Fighting With My Family - the film about their lives - which became a UK box office number one smash. Then in 2023, the Knight family enjoyed an unforgettable night of celebration in front of more than 80,000 people at AEW All In at Wembley Stadium. These two huge highlights were just reward for a family who have dedicated their lives to professional wrestling.
Roy's own career has seen him wrestle all over the world and for many of the top UK promotions. He has been The Zebra Kid and a UK Hooligan, competing in thousands of matches in a more than 30-year period. And he was the first of five members of his family - alongside dad Ricky Knight, stepmum Sweet Saraya, brother Zak 'Zodiac' Knight and sister Britani Knight (better known as Paige in WWE and Saraya in AEW) - to wrestle for FWA or XWA in Morecambe. In fact, his match with US star Chris Hamrick on the very first FWA show at The Dome in 2003 helped shape the Morecambe Wrestling we know and love today.
In this exclusive interview, Roy reminisces with his former Frontier Wrestling Alliance colleague Greg Lambert on some of their shared memories in FWA and PCW, along with stories about his family promotion WAW, his all-round success in other sports, and about how he's winning his biggest battle of all.
