\n\tLONDON: Top British Muslim boxers will be honored at an awards event on March 22 in Birmingham, which organizers describe as a celebration of fighters\u2019 careers and the values of fairness within the sport.<\/p>\n
\n\tThe Muslim Boxing Awards 2025 will take place at the city\u2019s Grand Botanical Suite and be presented by Amir Khan, a former Olympian and two-time world champion, and Johnny Nelson, a former world cruiserweight champion.<\/p>\n
\n\tThis year\u2019s awards ceremony follows the inaugural event in April last year. It is once again organized by Legal Blows, a pro bono legal organization that helps boxers deal with the complexities of business contracts, which said the evening will unite champions, rising stars and boxing legends for a memorable celebration.<\/p>\n
\n\t\u201cThe event will honor the dedication, excellence and values that make Muslim athletes true role models, both inside and outside the ring,\u201d it added.<\/p>\n
\n\tIt will also include a fundraiser in support of Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, and a four-course Ramadan iftar.<\/p>\n
\n\tLegal Blows said the lineup it has assembled for the awards features some of Britain\u2019s top boxers and other leading lights in the sport, including: Shabaz Masoud, holder of the IBO super-bantamweight title; Hamza Uddin, a former Team GB fighter and eight-time national champion; Haseebah Abdullah, England\u2019s first hijab-wearing boxing coach; and Mehek Khalil, an amateur boxer and actress.<\/p>\n
\n\tThe Muslim Boxing Awards is the brainchild of solicitor Adil Hussain, the founder of Legal Blows, in collaboration with renowned boxing figures, including Khan and other top-tier talent.<\/p>\n
\n\t\u201cMany athletes are unaware that they have the ability to negotiate contracts to obtain more favorable terms,\u201d Hussain said of his work with boxers.<\/p>\n
\n\t\u201cMy goal is to empower them with the tools to protect their interests and maximize their careers.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
