Melissa “Minnie” Anderson is quickly becoming a well known name among the Muay Thai scene. With 13 fights under her belt and undefeated, it’s no wonder why.

We caught up with Minnie to find out a bit more about her….

When did you first start training?: “I grew up with 6 brothers, ive been training all my life!! haha! 2004- I started learning the Art from my brother Skinny”

Melissa first fell in love with Muay Thai after watching her brother fight “I use to love going to the fight shows. I knew I didnt play team sports well so i thought i would give Muay Thai a go. Had my first fight and loved it”

When on her down time, Minnie enjoys catching up with her mates, but with a busy training schedule, it’s hard to fit everything in. She trains 6 days, 10+ Sessions a week. Usually 3hrs a day. With one day for rest and recovery which Melissa knows is of utmost importance. She attributes her success to “Alot of hard work and dedication. You need to give this sport 100%, 100% of the time”

Anderson hopes to get as many fights as she can and has a world title set in her sights for her future goals! Minnie is looking forward to stepping back over the ropes soon, so make sure you follow us on Facebook to keep up to date when her next fight will be!

Melissa will also be featured in the upcoming April issue of International Kickboxer Magazine, so grab yourself a copy and have a read.
