For a change, the 33 year old won’t be facing another grappler as he matches-up against the standup fighter Arthur. “He is from England, and most of the Englishmen are really tough, so I´m looking forward to a great fight.” says the Swede about the fighter with a total of 10 fights without a loss in his undefeated pro fight and amateur career.

Akhtar-title

“Martin Akhtar has long been one of my favorite fighters. I love his elegant and clean fighting style combined with his self-confidence during the match. Ed is a young talent who also like to put on a show and finish his opponents. Style-wise, this fight should be fireworks in the cage for the bantamweight title.” – Superior CEO Babak Aghavali.

“Thats awesome! It´s a great organisation and some really big names have earned Superiors belts before, so I am grateful for the opportunity.” says Akhtar about the opportunity to fight for the Superior title.
