English independent circuit (1990s)
Knight was working as a bouncer when he first met professional wrestler Jimmy Ocean. Ocean trained Knight, and the duo formed a tag team. Throughout the 1990s, they teamed together as The Superflys. The team was managed by Knight's wife Sweet Saraya. The Superflys wrestled in All Star Wrestling, holding the British Open Tag Team Championship four times together.
World Association of Wrestling (1994–present)
Knight, Sweet Saraya, and Jimmy Ocean formed the World Association of Wrestling in 1994 in Norwich. Ocean left the business after approximately one year. The promotion also included a wrestling school, The WAW Academy, which trained Roy Knight and The UK Pitbulls. The WAW Academy is Europe's longest running wrestling school. As a member of the roster, Knight has held the World Heavyweight Championship one time. He is also half of the current Tag Team Champions with Ocean.
Personal life
Knight was in prison for eight years, mostly due to violent offenses.
Knight is married to Julia Hamer-Bevis (Sweet Saraya), also a wrestler. They have four children, three of whom (Roy Knight, Zak Zodiac, and Paige) are active professional wrestlers. The family starred in The Wrestlers: Fighting with My Family, a 2012 documentary. The family is also the subject of an upcoming film Fighting with My Family, in which actor Nick Frost will play the role of Knight.
