▪️ Fled the Taliban with AK-47’s ▪️ Trafficked across Europe ▪️ Now close to becoming British champion The incredible story of Quaise Khademi
Confronted by the Taliban with AK-47’s as a child, trafficked across Europe and now agonisingly close to becoming a British champion – the incredible story of Quaise KhademiOn Saturday night, Quaise Khademi came within touching distance of the British super flyweight title, as his trilogy bout with Ijaz Ahmed ended in a split decision draw.
“We would hear bomb noises and gunfire all the time, so we were always hiding, but I was too young to remember that much.” This was not as simple as it sounds, however, as it took two years for Khademi and his family to make their way over here. They had no money because it had all been stolen by the men who had attacked his father in Pakistan.
“When we got into Germany, the traffickers left us in the jungle and we were all hungry. My father could see all the kids crying so we gave ourselves up to the police and they took us in and placed us in a hotel and we were there for about six months. “When school finished, I used to hang around people that I shouldn’t have and picking up bad habits. Being around bad people, my behaviour changed and I got in a lot of fights.
