Akaash Bhatia, the UK’s first professional Sikh Boxer, won the award for the “Most Up and Coming Sports Personality of the Year’ at the prestigious Sony Entertainment Television Asia Sports Personality of the Year Awards on Saturday night.
The unbeaten Bhatia, 23, proudly stepped up to receive his award at a glittering event at the London Hilton Hotel in Park Lane and in doing so took his already impressive career another step forward.
Bhatia remains unbeaten in his five bouts to date following is destruction of Sergii Tertii on 26 January when he stopped his more experienced opponent in the second round of four.
The Harrow resident is already gaining quite a reputation for his good looks and attractive boxing style along with his firm beliefs in right and wrong.
In the run up to his most recent bout Bhatia was widely reported as being affronted by the racist abuse broadcast on Big Brother, the reality
television show.
“I have been disgusted by the treatment of my countrywoman Shilpa Shetty by Londoner Jade Goody,” Bhatia said at the time.
“I train in Frank Maloney’s multicultural gym in Bermondsey and I wish to stress Ms Goody’s behaviour, and that of all people like her, is not typical of Londoners or human beings.”
It is anticipated that Akaash “Kash the Bash’ Bhatia’s next bout will be in London in early April.
