John Kavanagh has offered plucky 15-year-old Carlos Wolfe the chance to train at the SBG Ireland where UFC champion 'The Notorious' keeps his MMA skills sharp.

MMA guru Kavanagh feels that Carlos Wolfe has the right caliber and work rate to become a MMA fighter.

The teen's inspirational story went viral after he spoke on RTE Radio One's Liveline show on Wednesday.

Dublin native Kavanagh revealed to the Irish Mirror that Carlos has accepted his amazing offer and will go the SBG for a session.

It has been quite the week for Carlos after bagging an amazing seven honours on Wednesday.

Coach Kavanagh contacted the Irish Mirror to see if he could get in contact with the bright teen.

He said: "Is there anyway of contacting Carlos Wolfe?

"He sounds like an impressive young man."

John was delighted that the Irish Mirror could help him contact Carlos.

He said: "Got to speak to him, thanks very much. "

It comes as Homeless teenager Carlos Wolfe beams as he shows off his Junior Cert results - in the same park where he was forced to sleep alongside his mum.

The plucky 15-year-old beat the odds to bag an amazing seven honours today.

He was forced to study in emergency accommodation and after June’s exams, ended up sleeping rough in Dublin’s Phoenix Park. Brave Carlos also stayed in a hospital’s A&E department while studying.

As as he celebrated with mum Lorraine, he vowed: “I’m going to make something of myself, I know that.”

His proud mother told him before they collected the results: “It doesn’t matter how you’ve done, the fact that you sat under the situation that we were in, I’m proud of you.”

He told Joe Duffy on RTE Radio One’s Liveline: “I worked hard for the results and I’m glad I did it.”

He revealed he was “cooped up in a hotel room studying” for the Junior Cert, adding: “It’s not the easiest thing to do.”

Mum Lorraine Wolfe said she was very proud of her lad.

Before they opened the results together at 12.30pm, the 30-year-old told him: “It doesn’t matter how you’ve done, the fact that you sat under the situation that we were in, I’m proud of you.”

Carlos, now in fifth year, got seven honours and three passes, performing particularly well in Geography, Business, Italian, Higher Level Religion and Science, among other subjects.

The mum and son lived together in a one-bedroom apartment in Dublin 7 for four years.

But when the landlord decided to sell up, they were left without a roof over their heads a week before Christmas 2014.

They were first placed in emergency accommodation in Clontarf which made it extremely difficult for Carlos to continue going to school.

Lorraine previously said: “My son broke his knee and he had to travel from school in the winter months on crutches.

“Between the two of us we were getting 50 buses a week so most of our money was going on that.”

The pair were then moved to a B&B in Glasnevin, but they were evicted in the summer because Carlos broke the curfew - simply for visiting his dad.

“My son had to leave his father’s house at 12am, it took him an hour to walk from Dublin 7 to Dublin 9.

“That was on the Friday and on the Monday, the staff from the hotel came and told me that my son had broken the rules, the 10pm curfew, and my bed was cancelled.”

The family first stayed with a friend of Lorraine’s and her one-year old baby in a bedsit.

But when the landlord decided to sell the bedsit, they were left on the streets, first in Phoenix Park, near Garda HQ for safety, then in the Mater’s A&E department.

Lorraine, who suffers with Crohn’s disease, a potentially life-threatening bowel condition, said: “I just went in [to the Mater] and I sat down.

“The security guard came over and asked was I registered to see a triage nurse and I said no.

“And I told him straight that I was homeless and that I was cold and that I wanted somewhere to sleep with my son.

“And he asked me to move and he said that if I didn’t move, he’d get the Gardai.

“And I said: ‘Ring the police because I’d be safer in the police station with my son than sleeping in the streets with him.”

Later, she was provided with another room in emergency accommodation.

Carlos said: “We’re living [now] on the North Circular Road, it’s like a B&B/hotel, it’s just like one big huge house.

“It’s a very communal house, there’s a kitchen in the place, there’s washing machines.

“It’s still emergency accommodation, it’s on a night to night basis, but we share everything so it’s a very communal place.

“It’s actually a great place, it’s better than the Phoenix Park isn’t it?

“That’s the way I look at it. Until me and my mam do get a house now, I couldn’t be happier, to be honest.”

Carlos also insisted he would “definitely like to go to college”.
