Roy Bevis (born January 2,1981), better known by his ring name Zebra Kid, is an English professional wrestler. He is the son of well-known wrestler and promoter Ricky Knight, and often wrestled alongside his father in his promotions as Roy Knight. He has recently formed a tag team with younger half-brother, Zak Zodiac, as The UK Hooligans.
At the age of 13, Bevis made his debut in Lingwood in Norfolk, as the Zebra Kid partnering with the Canary Kid in a tag-team match against Jamie Lee and the Brixton Brawler. Since then, he has been faced with many challengers, including the likes of Robbie Brookside, Doug Williams and his own father throughout many independent promotions in the United Kingdom. Bevis has not limited his career to the UK either, making appearances in the United States in 2002 for the now defunct Xtreme Pro Wrestling against Jonny Storm, Joey Matthews, and Jerry Lynn.
Bevis' most high-profile work in the UK was for the W.A.W.; he made his FWA debut in 2002 winning a four-way match against Paul Trevell, Scotty Rock, and Mark Sloan at FWA Carpe Diem for an FWA All-England title match a few weeks later, a title he won. Throughout 2002 and 2003, Bevis traded FWA's All-England title back and forth with many of FWA's stars, but when Bevis vacated the belt due to injury on 18 October 2003, Hade Vansen won a provisional championship match against Flash Barker. On 26 March 2004, Bevis made his return in a last effort to win back the title in an undisputed FWA All England Championship match, but Vasen walked out of this match still the champion.
At FWA Carpe Diem in June 2004, Doug Williams defeated Bevis when 'Rowdy' Ricky Knight turned on him. This led to a long-lasting feud between father and son which involved many of the Bevis family members. All of this was fueled by Bevis' decision to wrestle full-time for the FWA instead of his father's promotion, World Association of Wrestling.
