#SHOWBIZ: Ikmal Amry: I'd love to be more active in combat sports
KUALA LUMPUR: Game Of Life actor Ikmal Amry has expressed his desire to be more active in combat sports following his recent victory over co-star and close friend, Hun Haqeem, at the Fury Championship.
In a report yesterday by Berita Harian, Ikmal said, "I love combat sports, and while I don't want to be a full-time competitor, I want to participate in events like the Fury Championship more often."
When questioned about his match with Hun, Ikmal admitted he initially felt awkward "battling" his close friend.
"I was a little worried I might leave him badly battered and bruised. However, he encouraged me to go all out and fight him in the arena," he shared.
"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."
