The event’s sponsor, Sean Rosborough, described Hardy as “brilliant”.

“We found out he was coming probably a couple of weeks before,” he said.

“But the organisers kept it to themselves — and didn’t want masses of people turning up distracting him from what he was doing.

“He was brilliant. A lot of people were asking for photos, and coming up to him, and he had no problem with that all.

“The mums were all over him. It didn’t bother him.

“And when he was fighting, he was focused on what he was doing. He’s amazing at Jiu-Jitsu.”
