Akram is about to enter a very different arena: the world of Mixed Martial Arts (MMA). In this new documentary, you’ll see Akram plunge into a realm of ultra-masculinity and confront his own relationship with violence.

He follows three of Britain’s leading fighters Terry ‘The Dominator’ Brazier, Michael ‘Seabass’ Shipman, and Michael ‘Venom’ Page – as they prepare for career-defining fights at Wembley Arena.

Watch Extreme Combat: The Dancer and The Fighter on Channel 4, this Sunday at 10pm.
