Becks’ lad training to be cagefighti­ng champ

® BROOKLYN Beckham has been tipped to become a top cagefighte­r after starring at a training school.

David and Victoria’s 18-yearold son has signed up to a profession­al UFC and jiu-jitsu fight academy.

And he left teachers and fellow pupils stunned by his strength and brawling abilities.

One black belt instructor wrote on Instagram: “Toughness runs in the blood! Good training today with Brooklyn Beckham.”

Before the session at the Renzo Gracie Academy in New York, Brooklyn had written to his followers: “First session, wish me luck.”

And after his impressive efforts, he posted: “Feeling more inspired after an amazing #bjj session! Thank you chaps.”

Unhappy

Becks Jr is expected to become a regular at the Manhattan gym, as he lives nearby while studying photograph­y at college.

His foray into the violent world of mixed martial arts is not the first career he has contemplat­ed.

Brooklyn failed to make an impact in his dad’s beloved football after signing for Arsenal.

And he has also tried to become a photograph­er, an author and even worked as a barista at a coffee shop.

Mum Victoria is said to be unhappy about his latest career move.

An insider said: “No parent wants to see their child potentiall­y get duffed up and Victoria is the same.

“She misses her boy so much anyway as they are an entire ocean apart.

“Him getting into scraps is making her maternal longing even worse.”
