This Friday night sees Izzy Asif from GBM Sports present its second-ever show headlined by 2016 Olympian Qais Ashfaq at the Magna Centre, Rotherham. After an extremely successful first show headlined by local prospect Junaid Bostan, Izzy is slowly building a reputation of becoming one of the major players in the small hall game and will look to impress once more this week. With a whole host of talent on the bill, the near sell-out show looks to be an absolute cracker.
GBM Sports Second Fight Night
The show GBM Sports show is headlined by 2016 Olympian and 2014 Commonwealth Games Gold Medalist Qais Ashfaq (9-1-0) who makes his long-awaited return to the ring after 18 months out. Qais’ last outing was a fourth-round stoppage victory over Ashley Lane on the Anthony Joshua v Kubrat Pulev back in December 2020.
The sole defeat of Ashfaq’s career comes to now-former British champion Marc Leach who he lost a narrow points decision back in October 2020. Leach has since gone on to have impressive victories over Thomas Essomba and winning the British title against Chris Bourke earlier this year before losing out to Liam Davies earlier this month. Qais will be hoping to propel himself back into the domestic mix which consists of the likes of Brad Foster, Liam Davies, Gamal Yafai, Jack Bateson + Andrew Cain.
