The duo turning the fight game into a full-service travel operation for elite athletes and fans alike.
When Will and Gav launched Haymaker Travel in March 2025, they weren’t chasing a trend. They were filling a gap nobody else had spotted: dedicated travel support for the combat sports world.
From the very first conversation, their clarity stood out. This wasn’t travel theory. This was lived experience.
“Fighters and their teams operate on a different frequency,” they explain. “Weight cuts, last-minute camp changes, the pressure of fight week. We wanted to take the logistical weight off their shoulders so the only thing they have to focus on is the fight itself.”
And that focus is paying off in ways most new agents can only dream about.
Travel Niche & Personal Touch
Haymaker Travel isn’t your typical agency. Will and Gav have built what they call a “full-spectrum logistics service” for combat sports athletes, teams, and fans.
What does that look like in practice? They reach out to local gyms in destination cities to secure mat time or ring space. They connect fighters with local meal-prep companies to keep nutrition locked in from landing. They coordinate cryotherapy, sports massage, and recovery services. They speak directly to hotel managers to secure quiet floors, late check-outs for post-weigh-in recovery, and kitchen facilities.
And that’s before handling car hire, private transfers, media workouts, press conferences, and medicals.
This isn’t booking flights and beds. This is building the infrastructure for a successful fight camp.
The JLT Journey So Far
In less than a year, Will and Gav have done something most new agents would consider impossible: they’ve earned the trust of elite-level professional boxers.
Their client list now includes Chantelle Cameron (Undisputed World Champion), Josh Kelly, and David Adeleye. In the boxing world, these aren’t small names. These are top-tier athletes choosing a brand-new agency over established options.
“For a new business to be handling the travel for athletes of this magnitude is almost unheard of,” they say. “It proves that our ‘by the trade, for the trade’ approach is exactly what the industry was missing.”
When the news landed that Chantelle Cameron had signed with Haymaker, the reaction across the JLT community was immediate. An Undisputed World Champion trusting a brand-new agency? That’s not luck. That’s proof of something special.
Their next goal? Steady, quality growth. They want Haymaker to be the first name that trainers and managers pass to one another when a fight date gets announced.
Memorable Booking Moment
Arranging travel for Josh Kelly holds a special place for Will and Gav. He was the first elite fighter to take a chance on them.
“That first bit of trust meant everything.”
Following that up with Chantelle Cameron took things to another level. When an Undisputed World Champion tells you she’ll be using your service for every trip from now on? That’s a defining moment. The kind that confirms everything is moving in the right direction.
Words of Wisdom
When asked what surprised them most since joining JLT, their answer was simple: “How vast the travel industry is.”
And for anyone sitting on the fence about joining? Their advice cuts through the noise:
“Pull the splinters out and sign up today.”
They’re also quick to praise the JLT community: “The community aspect is fantastic. Everybody helping everybody grow.”
What’s Next for Haymaker Travel?
Vegas. The mecca of combat sports. Will and Gav have their sights set on sending more clients to the fight capital of the world, and with the momentum they’ve built, it’s only a matter of time.
We’re cheering you on, Will and Gav. Here’s to what’s next.
