Photographer captures superb shots at Sykes v Kays fight

Photographer Javed Iqbal captured some fantastic shots at last Saturday’s English super featherweight title fight between Dewsbury’s Gary Sykes and Ashton’s Jonny Kays.

There was huge demand for press accreditation at the Motorpoint Arena in Sheffield, with many there for the main event between Amir Khan and Julio Diaz.
