Johnny Reed/BBCThe newly crowned gladiators champion has described the show in front of his beloved grandmother as “the best moment of my life.”
Joe Fishburn, a Gimnasta of the 24 -year -old GB team from Scarborough, beat Mus Dumbuya in the Saturday’s final to be named the last winner of Series Dos.
Fishburn, who was raised by his grandmother Christine after his mother died when he was two years old, had previously said that he expected his life to give people “faith and hope when they face a challenge.”
“I can’t tell you how incredible he feels,” he said about his victory.
The gymnast was animated by friends and family, including her grandmother, during her time in the program.
“There is a leg so many times when I have competed abroad and she can’t travel on her legs,” he said.
“For her to see me winning, only in the first round, crossing the newspaper and seeing her and all the beloved, it was really the best moment of my life.”
Johhny Reed/BBCFishburn said that seeing his family “unite” had the leg of the experience of Gladiators 2025.
“It was really incredible to have an occasion, not necessarily sad, where everyone can be behind you and meet,” he explained.
“The family is amazing for me.”
Before facing the Challenge of Gladiators, Mr. Fishburn was formed in Scarborough Gymnastics Academy.
He outraged a specific program program under his coach Roddy Mackay, a former contestant of the original television series.
Mackay said that Mr. Fishburn’s victory was “incredible, he knew he could win it.”
“His gymnastics skills and rugby skills are the perfect couple for gladiators,” he said.
Mr. Fishburn’s achievements had helped inspire the next generation of gymnasts at the Scarborough Gymnastics Academy, Mackay said.
“Joe has been an absolute dream to work with,” he added.
“He establishes the most surprising example of these children. He will have motivated them.”
Fishburn said there were “definitely” some future contenders in the academy.
