AHMAD Nor Iman Hakim Rakib’s right eye was bruised and his eyes were bloodshot, but he was still grinning from ear to ear.

The 23-year-old Hakim secured the first and only gold for Malaysia in kickboxing after defeating Indonesian Muharram Syach Firman 2-1 at the Morodok Techno National Stadium: Elephant Hall 1 yesterday.
