"My other three fights have been against guys who have not really come to win, they’ve come to shell up

After establishing control in the fight in the first two rounds Akbar was caught by a couple of punches in the third round by an opponent who came out swinging, but the Dewsbury man maintained his composure to see out his points victory.
He added: "Big shout out to him. When I go into other fights I will know now how it feels to take a punch because my last three opponents didn’t touch me really. This guy came to fight and it was valuable experience for me.”
