ACCRINGTON boxer Artif Ali is set to return to action in February after making it two wins out of two as a professional.
The 25-year-old featherweight secured a convincing points victory over journeyman Kristian Laight in a four-rounder at Colne Muni earlier this month.
That came after defeating Aaron Flinn on his professional debut in Oldham in October.
“For my first pro fight I was quite nervous but in my second fight I wasn’t nervous,” said Ali, who trains in Moss Side in Manchester.
“My opponent was a stone heavier than me but it was an easy fight.
“I’m fighting again at the Reebok Stadium in February now.”
