By Martha Cliff 17-year-old Lucy will take on her 37-year-old trainer Paul Ashe later this month When Lucy Garland first told her parents she wanted try out wrestling, they didn't think she was serious. But now the petite blonde, at only 5ft 5ins tall, takes on men in the ring who are more than twice her age and size. The 17-year-old started training at the Ultimate British Wrestling (UBW) club in Hitchin, Hertfordshire, just one year ago but has already progressed to a competitive level. Lucy, who has gained a reputation for her high-energy moves, will take on her 37-year-old trainer, Paul Ashe, in the ring during her first live match later this month (July 19).
