Tokyo 2020 is the latest goal for the British karateka whose career has been defined by determination and self-belief
It was in 2016 when Jordan Thomas won a karate world championship in Austria, that he knew his destiny was firmly in his hands long before he put them to devastating use.
“Early in 2016 my first status on Facebook was: ‘This is a year of business’,” he says. “I won the European bronze medal in May. Then I put a post up that said: ‘I am coming.’ I felt it, that it was meant to be, everything was coming together. For me it was not if, it was when.”
