A Weekend To Remember As Kukri Ambassadors Shine On The Big Stage

United Kingdom

Two athletes. Two sports. One statement weekend.

Kieran Molloy and Courtney Tulloch have both taken significant steps forward in their careers, delivering performances that underline their status among the best in their sports.

In the ring, Kieran Molloy was crowned IBF European Welterweight Champion after a unanimous points decision victory over Xavier Kohlen.

The win marked a special night for the Irishman as he won his first professional title at the SSE Arena in Belfast to maintain his unbeaten professional record.

“It was an unbelievable feeling winning my first professional title,” said Molloy. “After all of the setbacks and title fights falling through, this one really meant a lot.

“I’ve been training and dedicating my life to this sport since I was five years old and now I’m reaping the rewards.”

Molloy was composed and controlled throughout the ten rounds, backing up his performance with the numbers to match.

“After 12 hard weeks of training twice a day, six days a week, I was well prepared. To hear ‘and the new…’ meant all the hard work has paid off.”

The Galway man was quick to pay tribute to those who have supported him along the way. “The support I’ve received from the people of Galway and Ireland has been unreal.

“They’ve supported me since the start and they are a huge part of my journey. My team at the New Era Boxing Gym in London, including my coach Charlie Beatt, have all worked extremely hard to make sure I’m in the best shape possible.”

With the title now secured, Molloy has his sights set firmly on what comes next. “It’s made me even more hungry to push further and headline for another title fight. Big things coming!”

Courtney Tulloch enjoys British Championships Success

Closer to home, at the Artistic Gymnastics British Championships, Courtney Tulloch picked up two more medals in at the M&S Bank Arena in Liverpool.

A silver in the men’s senior rings final was followed by a bronze in the men’s senior parallel bars final, a result that demonstrated his consistency and ability to perform under pressure.

Reflecting on the weekend, Tulloch said: “Winning two medals felt like real proof that the hard work is paying off, especially under pressure.

“It gave me a big confidence boost and showed me I’m moving in the right direction.”

The parallel bars bronze held particular significance for the gymnast. “I’ve put a lot of time into that apparatus, so to finally see it come together in competition and be rewarded with a medal was really satisfying.”

With major competitions on the horizon, Tulloch is hoping this can be a springboard for the rest of the season. “With the Commonwealth Games or European Championships coming up if I’m selected, it definitely adds extra motivation.

“Performances like this push me to keep improving and fine tuning everything in training so I can be in the best shape possible when it matters most.

“The ambition now is to build and keep improving. I want to be more consistent and push for top results at major competitions.”

Speaking on the achievements, Andrew Ronnie, Group CEO of Kukri Sports, said: “We couldn’t be prouder of Kieran and Courtney. We started our journey with Kieran a few years ago and to see him standing there as a champion is a special moment.

“He is determined to get to the very top of the sport and I have no doubts that he will get there.

“Courtney has quickly become a hugely valued part of the Kukri family and to see him deliver a standout performance at the British Championships, which was a fantastic event, and winning two medals, is a real testament to his dedication and ability and we look forward to supporting him in future competitions as well as off the mat too.”

Empowering Women In Sport With Netball Northern Ireland

Supporting women in netball isn’t just about kit – it’s about creating opportunities, celebrating athletes and breaking barriers.

On International Women’s Day, it’s about representation, confidence and investing in the next generation.

One story that embodies this spirit is Netball Northern Ireland (Netball NI). As the official long-term kit supplier for all teams, Netball NI continues to set the standard in Northern Ireland, providing a clear pathway for netballers to participate and develop.

As part of the Netball NI warriors team, Lauren has been playing at the elite level and representing her country with pride, helping to grow the sport on and off the court.

We spoke with Lauren about her journey, the importance of community in sport and what it means to be a woman in netball today.

“Representing Northern Ireland is a true privilege, nothing beats stepping onto the court in a green or navy dress.”

Lauren, who represented Netball NI at last year’s Celtic Cup, credits the team environment with helping her thrive both personally and as an athlete.

“We have a friendly and close-knit community. All the girls are encouraging, helpful and kind.

“We support and uplift each other throughout training, matches, conditioning and beyond the court too.”

Lauren’s personal journey in the sport is also deeply tied to her family.

“My mum previously played for Northern Ireland, and it means a lot to continue her legacy and make her proud every day.

“She was the one who encouraged me from a young age to play this sport, and I’m forever thankful that she did.”

Lauren also highlighted the empowering impact netball has had on her confidence and personal growth.

“The sport has developed me in so many ways. My confidence and self-esteem grew, I met amazing people by travelling around the world too.”

For Lauren, International Women’s Day is an opportunity to reflect on women’s achievements in sport.

“International Women’s Day is a way to represent how powerful, independent and successful we all are, and that anything is possible if you put your mind to it!”

Kukri Sports is proud to support athletes like Lauren and the Netball NI Warriors, providing kit, support and a platform for women to excel in sport and represent their country with pride.

Empowering Women In Sport With UBC Women’s Rugby

North America

Supporting women in sport isn’t just about kit – it’s about creating opportunities, celebrating athletes and breaking barriers.

On International Women’s Day, it’s about representation, confidence and investing in the next generation.

One story that embodies this spirit is UBC Women’s Rugby. As official kit supplier for over a decade, UBC Women’s Rugby continues to set the standard in Western Canada, winning four consecutive Canada West 7s titles, six consecutive Canada West 15s titles, back-to-back U SPORTS national championships, and with six players competing in last year’s Rugby Women’s World Cup.

We spoke with Olivia Sarabura, a key part of UBC’s recent success, about her journey, the growth of women’s rugby and what it means to be a woman in sport today.

“Being a part of the UBC Women’s Rugby program means everything to me. When I first started playing, I could not have imagined the places this sport would take me.

“It’s an incredible opportunity to compete at such a high level, and I hope my journey shows young girls that you don’t have to choose between education and playing the sport you love.”

Now entering her sixth year with the squad, Olivia said rugby has opened doors to both national and international experiences.

“It’s given me so many opportunities to be the best athlete and person that I can be.

“I’ve been able to represent my country playing rugby sevens and play for the best women’s rugby program in the country, something that wouldn’t have been possible a few decades ago.

“Growing up, I didn’t really see many female athletes on TV or in the news. Women’s rugby wasn’t popular at the time, and no one really covered what it was like to be a woman in sport.

“Now, I’m surrounded by world-class athletes who are my teammates, friends and family. I’m so grateful to be around them.”

When it comes to game day and giving her best, wearing Kukri kit is more than just putting on a uniform.

“Our coaches always say that our kit represents so much more than just us. They represent our team, the people who believe in us and the athletes who came before,” she explained.

“When I put on my Kukri kit, I play better because I know that I’m not just playing for myself – but all the people who made it possible for me to put it on and play the sport I love.”

While celebrating progress, Olivia stressed the importance of ongoing investment.

“Women’s rugby in Canada has so much potential. We have talented athletes, coaches and supporters who do a lot of unnoticed work to keep the sport at the highest level possible, but they need more support, funding and research.

“We need to keep elevating women’s rugby and investing in the future of girls and women.”

Olivia also encouraged newcomers to take the leap and get involved.

“I want young girls and women to know they can be strong, intense and aggressive, and find a sport that welcomes that.

“As a teacher in training, I often speak to young girls about rugby because they don’t realize that it is even an option for them.

“That’s why International Women’s Day is so important, it’s a chance to thank the women who paved the way and reflect on what still needs to be done.”

Kukri Sports is proud to stand alongside female athletes like Olivia and the UBC Women’s Rugby team — providing kit, support, and a platform for women to excel in sport and education worldwide.

Back-to-Back Commonwealth Games Champion Joins Kukri Sports As New Brand Ambassador

United Kingdom

Kukri Sports is proud to announce British Gymnastics star Courtney Tulloch as the brand’s newest ambassador.

A multiple British champion and four-time Commonwealth Games medallist, Courtney joins Kukri as one of the most decorated British artistic gymnasts of the last decade.

He now joins Megan Kealy, Britain’s first-ever Tumbling World Games champion, as one of two ambassadors from British Gymnastics, which further strengthens our commitment to supporting talent on and off the mat.

A natural fit 

“It feels really special and something I’m proud of,” said Courtney, speaking on joining the Kukri team.

“From the very start, Kukri stood out to me because of their commitment to athletes and their understanding of what performance really means.

“It feels like a natural fit, not just from a performance perspective but also in terms of values and what they stand for.”

Making history & aims for the season

After already writing his name into the gymnastics history books on several occasions – including becoming the first British & first black man to win a world medal on the rings at the 2022 World Gymnastics Championships – Courtney is preparing for what promises to be an exciting season, including setting his sights on this year’s Commonwealth Games.

“I’m feeling excited and motivated,” he said. “This stage of the season is always important because it’s where you really see the work from training come together.

“Ultimately, I want to keep pushing my routines forward and become three-time Commonwealth Games champion on the rings.”

Reflecting on what makes the Games so special, Courtney added, “There’s a unique atmosphere and sense of pride that comes with representing your country.

“Winning gold at the Gold Coast and Birmingham are memories I’ll always cherish, not just because of the results but because of the team spirit and support from the fans.

“It’s an event that brings people together in a really powerful way.”

The importance of the right sportswear

The gymnast also emphasises the importance of having the right performance partner as he targets further success on the international stage.

“In a sportswear partner, I look for quality, attention to detail and a genuine understanding of athletes’ needs,” he said.

“Kukri ticks all those boxes, which is why I’m excited about working with them”.

Courtney is also focused on the wider impact of the partnership beyond competition.

“I’m looking forward to collaborating on projects that inspire young athletes and help grow the sport.

“I hope this partnership will allow us to create impact both on and off the competition floor, and I’m excited to see where the journey takes us.”

Kukri Sports Delivers Performance and Reliability With Aus Cycling

Australia

Amid a busy and exciting cycling season, Kukri Sports and Aus Cycling continue to thrive together in their partnership.

From BMX to track, road, mountain bike and para-cycling, Kukri has been there behind the scenes, supporting the talented team & athletes with custom-designed teamwear and lifestyle apparel to help them look and feel their best.

This includes the recent Oceania Cycling Championships, where the team claimed five elite continental titles across team sprint, sprint and keirin, the Tour Down Under event in South Australia, the UCI Para-cycling Track World Championships in Brazil and the UCI Road World Championships in Rwanda.

The team’s kit has performed across extremes of temperature, keeping athletes comfortable through the summer cycling heat and adapting to different climates at multiple world championships.

New developments have also seen the Aus Cycling team receive operations staff uniforms, helping them to support the team behind the scenes at training sessions and future championships.

Speaking on the kit, Liam Walsh, ARA Australian Cycling Team Road & Track Cyclist, said “I think the new kit is really nice, it’s been very comfortable to wear at the track in both the hot and cold.

“The quality has helped us across numerous trips and race days which is fantastic,” he said.

“The designs are distinctively Australian, which is important to us, and I think the blend of indigenous print on the side ties into the race suit really nicely and makes the on-bike and off-bike clothing work really well together.

“It reflects how proud everyone is to represent Australia.”

Jon Burrage, Aus Cycling’s Apparel & Merchandise Manager, added “Kukri’s performance apparel delivers exactly what we need – unmistakably Australian in its look and identity, while maintaining genuine technical performance.

“The quality of the fabrics, fit and finish stands up to the demands of our athletes and staff, and the end result is apparel our team is proud to wear,” he said.

“Working with Kukri has been seamless from start to finish. Their communication is clear and whenever we’ve needed adjustments or solutions, they have acted quickly and professionally.

“They are always committed to delivering the best outcome for Aus Cycling.”

Chris Marshall, Group COO at Kukri Sports, said “We are very proud to support Aus Cycling. Providing high-quality apparel that athletes and staff can rely on is something we take a lot of responsibility for, and it’s fantastic to hear about the positive feedback from the team.

“Seeing the team perform on the world stage while wearing our kit is a testament to the strength of our partnership and our commitment to helping athletes perform at their very best. It also reflects Kukri’s expanding global footprint and the values we bring to sport around the world.”
