Almighty FC 22: Quick-Fire With Shajidul Haque

Currently, the fight card sits at eighteen confirmed bouts, with two more potentially being added. Across the card, Almighty FC fans are treated to a wide range of talent from across the United Kingdom and further afield.

One man who competes on the night and looks to capture the Almighty FC flyweight championship is experienced flyweight Shajidul Haque. Haque meets Igor Wojtas in the promotions main event. Haque is no stranger to Almighty, with his most recent win coming at Almighty FC 20 over Aaron Robinson.

I had the pleasure off producing a fun piece of content with Haque as he answered 20-quick-fire questions ahead of his bout.
