Does anybody know what happened to this lightweight prospect from Pakistan?
He won a 3rd TKO over commonwealth medalist Jamie Arthur back in January but hasnt fought since and he has only had two fights since Nov 2003.
He might have made a good future opponent for Amir Khan in the pro ranks - a sort of first ever fight between two ranked "Brit-Asians"!
(I know Haider Ali won his medal for Pakistan but I think he lives here now).

I'm sure that Haider Ali is managed by Warren/Maloney. He too was a good 'prospect' since winning the commonwealth featherweight gold. Since then, he has already boxed 3 Commonwealth games reps: Steven Bell (England), Jamie Arthur (wales) and Jus Wallie (sri lanka). I think sports network had high hopes for Ali but he hasnt fulfilled his potential. I'd say Jus Wallie would be a more likely oponent for Khan as he has already been pitted very hard against several up and coming prospects (Steven Bell, Andy Morris, Kevin o'hara, henry castle, john simpson, jamie arthur and derry mathews!!)
