"Both of us spent three months preparing, and on the big day, we fought each other to the fullest."
He added that both actors sustained "bearable" injuries.
Ikmal also mentioned that his wife fully supports his involvement in combat sports.
"She's giving me her fullest support, provided I take all precautions to avoid serious injury."
