That is the new reality for mixed martial arts fighter Harry Webb, who claimed the Demolition Fight Series amateur lightweight title.

It follows his win in May where he claimed the amateur featherweight title at the same event.
His most recent win came after a tough battle with Melbourne's Mark Reyment.
"Right at the start I dropped him, (in) the first 10 seconds with a technique that we'd actually been working on," Webb said.
"He was tough, he stayed in the fight and saw out the end of the first round ...
"I finished him by knockout in the second round about 20 seconds in."
The win came after difficulty in the lead up, with the initial date of the event, August 28, continually pushed back due to COVID-19.
It is Webb's third win at the Demolition Fight Series this year and he will look to add a fourth in 2022.
He hopes to defend one of his titles in late February, when the next event is scheduled.
A win there could help push Webb in the direction of a possible professional bout.
"I think because I've only had the four amateur fights at this stage, I still think we want to get a little bit more experience before we go pro," he said.
"I'd say pro would be something that we'd be looking at towards mid to late next year."
Webb was thankful post-fight to his sponsors DJB plumbing and gas and Infinite MMA.
