Expressing his excitement, Sangram Singh said, "This is my first time stepping into the cage in England and also my first time facing a top Turkish powerhouse like Akbulut! This is a dream fight that will test every breath I take let's see if the spirit of Indian wrestling will triumph on foreign soil," as quoted from a release by Premier Combat Fighting Championship.

His coach, Bhupesh Kumar, added, "Sangram's journey from wrestler to MMA sensation has been remarkable. Making his debut in England against a top Turkish fighter like Akbulut is the ultimate test. His preparation, strength, and determination are gearing him up for another historic victory on the world stage."
