AFK Kickboxing

Normally we offer good news of our members however on this sad occasion

One of our previous members
Shaun Whelan sadly passed away in a motorcycle accident.
We have a few happy memories of Shaun’s time at AFK
We are fully aware that he had discovered a new passion for Brazilian Ju Jitsu

We know that Shaun spent a few years on a plant based diet.
Ironically the last AFK BBQ. he had sampled sheep’s heart and he supposedly liked it so I don’t know what happened there ? 🤷‍♂️

Shaun competed in MMA on one of the shows and despite being taken down more than once he pulled out the perfect right cross to win by KO.

Shaun was at one time involved with a vegan bakery on Abbeydale Road that was a regular haunt for a couple of our younger members
Namely
Ishmael and Fatima Ali

We would like to pass on our condolences to all of Shaun’s family and friends and rest assured that we cannot forget our good times with him .

Yet another successful weekend for the AFK fight squad

Farhan the resident flyweight was on first and on this occasion due to flyweights being in short supply had to take on a very high standard of bantamweight.

We knew that this was a step up in class and he should be content to go the rounds to see what it’s like at world level .

On this occasion his opponent was a very tall four times ICO champion of the world. Admittedly the opponent was a step in front throughout the contest Farhan eventually found his range with the perfect right hand but it was too little too late .
Farhan had to make do with a silver medal on this occasion and he was content with his performance as we are all proud of him for his determination and taking a step up in weight and experience.

Fahd took a boxing bout on the same card as his kickboxing bout had been cancelled. This bout didn’t last long as his body shot winded his opponent causing a first round TKO .

Both Fahd and Farhan are just two examples of the new face of AFK and we have a whole new list of talented juniors on the team .

People have now got the message that AFK IS BACK!!!!

It’s nice to see this write up online about one of our fighters

This one is ALI HUSSAIN

Saturday at Dunstable Conference centre was a successful day out for AFK

SUPER FIGHT SERIES

ALI HUSSAIN fought against a very tough and aggressive opponent from Weymouth

After landing a perfect knee and causing a knockdown he went back and finished the bout in the first round.

His first comment was “ who’s next?”
