The winning streak continued for USKA rising star Shakeel 'Showtime' Hussain on September 10th when he stepped into the cage at the TMA Fight Series International Fight event at the Premier Suite in Cannock against Northern Ireland's unbeaten Ben Patterson to contest the WRSA 5 Nations -60kg Title.
Patterson from the Body Shots gym in Belfast brought with him excellent credentials and a record of 10-0, this coupled with a reputation of being teak tough and as strong as they come made him a very dangerous opponent for the young Hussain.
Shakeel however is not a respecter of reputations and is in the form of his career at the moment and this showed in this fight dropping Patterson with a round kick to the body then finishing the Irish man in the very first round with a beautifully delivered jump turning side kick.
A very good victory over a very good opponent sets Shakeel up for bigger and better things in the near future with him now setting his sights on European to World title honours hopefully in the new year.
