DRAG QUEEN CAGE FIGHTERS?
Two cage fighters say they have been “stunned” at winning worldwide acclaim after being caught on camera fighting back at a pair of thugs while wearing dresses.
The exploits of Daniel “Lion Heart” Lerwell, 22, and James “Lights Out” Lilley, 23, have become an internet sensation after the encounter on a night out in Swansea, South Wales.
Dean Gardener, 19, and Jason Fender, 22, who had been drinking heavily, started to abuse the pair because they were wearing dresses, high heels and makeup.
CCTV captured the moments one of the yobs threw a punch at Mr Lilley – provoking a volley of powerful blows from the two “women” that left them in a dazed heap on the ground.
As a finishing touch, Mr Lilley then leans over the pair to retrieve his handbag before walking off down the street.
They were heading off to a night out with other cage fighters who were also dressed in drag.
Mr Lerwell, who works as a plumber in his day job, said the reaction from around the world had been “bonkers” with requests for interviews and appearances flooding in.
“Transsexuals around the world have found my Facebook page and want to be my friend. I’ve never seen anything like it,” he said.
“I am told that NBC, the American TV channel, are looking to interview us.”
