  "account": "In the lead-up to the DWCS 88 event at Meta APEX, Kaik Brito received an overwhelming number of messages from fans supporting his opponent, Namo Fazil. The welterweight fighter told reporters through an interpreter that he had to block and restrict people in order to manage the constant communication. Despite the barrage of messages and even phone calls, Brito remained unfazed, stating that their words and insults did not bother him in the slightest. The fight between Brito and Fazil, both of whom are Kurdish, ended in a knockout victory for Brito in the third round. Brito expressed his gratitude to God for his success and admitted that his self-belief remained strong throughout the fight. He described the bout as a war, with his confidence growing in the first round and him determined to finish the fight during the second and third rounds.",
