A FORMER world gravy wrestling champion feared she was going to lose her sight after her ‘best friend’ hit her in the face with a wrench during a three-on-one horror attack.

Elisa Sampson, 32, a web manager and experienced kick boxer, was left with her eyeball hanging out after being struck by laundry worker Sabina English at their shared apartment in New Line, Bacup.

Violence erupted during a drinking session involving the friends when Miss Sampson caught English and Paul Greenwood having sex on her couch.

When she protested English, her brother Amjad Hussain, and Greenwood all turned on her, Burnley Crown Court was told.

Greenwood grabbed her by the throat while Hussain repeatedly punched her. Then English picked up a wrench and hit her friend in the face with it.

Speaking after the case, Miss Sampson said: “Despite being a former gravy wrestling champion and somebody who goes to kick boxing classes I just couldn’t defend myself.
