Taimoor Akram, son of former Pakistan cricket team captain Wasim Akram, has secured his fourth consecutive victory by defeating an American opponent in a Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) bout in the United States.
In the fight held in the U.S., Taimoor Akram emerged victorious following a tough contest, winning by a unanimous decision from the judges after three rounds.
Legendary fast bowler Wasim Akram took to social media to congratulate his son and praised his courage, determination and fighting spirit. Wasim Akram wrote that it was a great competition, I am proud of my son.
The former captain said that it was not easy for him to see his son compete for three tough rounds. He was surprised and worried during the fight, but he was very happy to see Taimur’s performance. He also advised his son to continue moving forward with the same spirit.
It should be noted that during an interview in January 2023, Wasim Akram revealed that his son had chosen MMA—rather than cricket—as a career and was preparing to become a professional fighter in the United States.
