"My son has been living in America, there is not much cricket there, anyway, I have given my children the right to live the life they want. If he wants to be a fighter, then he must," Akram said

[sweep_shot]

Ma sha Allah.

All the best to him.

 

[Champ_Pal]

All the best to Junior Sultan. MMA is brutal. Long term injuries are a big risk.

 

[MenInG]

Strange to see Pakistan cricketers son not making use of his father's name to get into Pakistan team!

 

[pakistani pride]

Strange to see Pakistan cricketers son not making use of his father's name to get into Pakistan team!

And who did that?
Which former players son has played for Pak in recent years?

 

[IAJ]

And who did that?

Usman Qadir?

 

[Rana]

He is built as a monster

Should go into professional wrestling

 

[Major]

To be fair no one has really done that, except for imran farhat who had his father in law getting him in.

Usman qadir used his friendship with babar

Imam ul haq one can argue about his mamu but imam has performance and is one of the best openers we everhad so he probed his worth.

People say that shan did this, but shan is educated and sethi likes educated people. This played in shans fabor. Shans father isnt even part of BOG of pcb for a long time.

 

[Savak]

Not sure if this is wise, MMA and Boxing and life threatening sports, you are one hit away from permanent impairment and health is wealth ultimately. Wasim Akram should not have been okay with this.

He seems to be in a great shape.

Even cricket is not risk-free. You can always end up with a serious injury.

 

[SalimBhai]

All the best to him. He had the athletes genes from his dad.

 

[maverick85]

pinnay looks a bit chubby to bee MMA fighting

 

[moghul]

His physique is not at all of a MMA athlete . They are extremely fit, all muscles and no fat , very agile .

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

pinnay looks a bit chubby to bee MMA fighting

That was my first impression as well. Maybe he looks bigger standing up. From that pic he just looks like a mid-sized fatty, not sure which weight category he would fit.

 

[Bilal Ahmad15]

Same can be said for Cricket and many other sports too.
But at the same time, in MMA, boxing, etc. the threat is more direct

 

[Cricket-lion]

I wish his well but he doesn't yet have the physique or fitness of a MMA fighter. He will be battered unfortunately in current shape.

 

[Champ_Pal]

He seems to be in a great shape.

Even cricket is not risk-free. You can always end up with a serious injury.

He looks fat. MMA fighters are ripped and extremely agile. Akram Jr does not give me the vibes of a fighter. He is reminding me of Imam Ul Haq.

 

[KingKhanWC]

The kid is fat, body fat % of least 20%. No defintion at all.

Good luck to him but seems like a pipe dream. MMA is the toughest sport out there, you have to be animal to compete at a high level.

 

[Sherazkhalid]

Usman Qadir?

He was going to Aus and PCB starting giving him games so that he doesn't go there. Not sure if it was wise of him to stay back.

 

[Suleiman]

The kid is fat, body fat % of least 20%. No defintion at all.

Good luck to him but seems like a pipe dream. MMA is the toughest sport out there, you have to be animal to compete at a high level.

There’s plenty of high body fat percentage fighters as well. Ever heard of Daniel Cormier?

It depends person to person. Ofc you don’t want to be morbidly obese. But different people have different weight classes they’re comfortable fighting at. Sometimes it’s at 15-20% bf

He’ll find out soon enough what his ideal fighting weight is. But I would imagine light heavyweight

A lot of people have the stereotypical Bruce Lee physique in mind when thinking combat sports, but there is decent variation. Ofc, most of them are lean, but a good amount aren’t who still go decently far.
