Ateeq Al Rehman (USKA) Vs Tom Hill (MMA Den) - WKU English Title - 30th September 2023

We had three fighters competing at the prestigious Battle of Knights event at the H Suite in Birmingham on 30th September. The Aero-Kick hosted monster event had over 30 bouts of Kickboxing, Boxing and K-1 featuring fighters from all over the country.
Last up for for USKA on the night we had Ateeq Al Rehman challenge for the WKU Super Lightweight K-1 English Title against Tom Hill from the MMA Den in Battersea, London.
Ateeq would be going in to this one the Underdog with Tom being the more experienced of the two and with a very strong reputation.
In a great well matched contest it was all even and anyone's title to win going into the last round.
Ateeq listened well to his corner and finished the stronger of the two in the fifth to win a close but well deserved Split Points Decision to lift the belt.
