In the June 2012 issue we caught up with young boxer Muheeb who just turned professional. Well since then he has won his first professional fight and is being sponsored by the Burngreave Building Company.
We met up with Muheeb to talk about how his professional career is going and how his first professional fight was.
“I fought Francis Groes at the Octagon Centre, I won him on points we fought the full 6 rounds. The training was the hardest part but the fight was easy.”
Muheeb explained that if he hadn’t trained as hard as he did and didn’t get the support he received he would not have won that fight. Muheeb told us that he trains 7 days a week and sparred with champions like Kell Brook, Kid Galahad, Richard Towers and Manny More. He told us he had to do a lot of dieting to prepare for his debut fight.
“To me my team is the best around. Brendan Ingle is the brains behind the operation I also get a lot of support from John and Dominic Ingle inside the ring. I also want to thank Burngreave Building Company for sponsoring me. They helped me out a lot, they buy my gear including my gloves and boots and they were there at the ringside supporting me. I also want to thank Dom and Ian for all the help and time they put in.”
Muheeb went on to tell us how supportive his family is and his Dad Elias Fazeldin also joined us when we interviewed him.
“He has been fighting for 5 years and his debut fight was the first one I went too and I was excited. I was very proud to see him win. He was really good he was even dancing about in the ring. I also appreciate how much Brendan and his team have done for my son.”
Muheeb is fighting again on the 17th of May at Ponds Forge and would like it if his community was there to support him. We asked Muheeb what he thought about his next fight.
“Im looking forward to it I don’t know who my opponent is yet but it doesn’t bother me because no one can stop me from winning. My gym is the best gym around we call it the ‘Champ Camp’ and as long as I have got them no one is stopping me.
We asked Muheeb what he has to say to the kids and people in Burngreave.
“First of all I would like to thank everyone in Burngreave who has supported me by coming to my fight. Hopefully the kids will see what I’m doing and can look at me and say I want to be like him I want to be a role model and the kids in Burngreave have potential. I want to bring back a belt to Burngreave and make the people proud.”
