Tribute

Andrew "Burty" Johns

14 December 2025

"Forever in our hearts"

Welsh MMA legend Brett Johns pays an emotional tribute to his father, Andrew "Burty" Johns, during his retirement interview with S4C. In a deeply moving moment, Brett spoke from the heart about the man who shaped him - not just as a fighter, but as a person. Burty was more than a father; he was Brett's biggest supporter, the one who believed in him when others doubted, and the foundation upon which a world champion was built. This tribute captures the unbreakable bond between father and son, and reminds us all of the sacrifices our loved ones make for our dreams. Gone but never forgotten.
