Kash Farooq Retires!

Post by maverick23 »

Kash has had to retire due to unforeseen circumstances.

Real shame and I hope he copes ok with it. Always found him a really good fighter to watch.

He was born in Pakistan.

Strange like to know the reason (of course you can say personal) but still. Has the same feel as Jawaid Khaliq retiring.

Well we don't know do we.. Could be anything.

I think it's health related, but that's a guess.

It really isn't going to be because he was born in Pakistan, is it? That was hardly unforeseen.

No chance it’s that.

His management team have thanked the BBBC for their thorough medical processes so it’ll be something that’s come out of that.

I was just wondering, the UK are clamping down, cus of that Shamiama Begum, but only if you're taking the piss.

I assumed it was medical related.

Terrible shame.

Farooq was a boxer who'd shown considerable improvement and the fans have missed out on a highly anticipated rematch with McGregor. :verysad:

https://www.scotsman.com/sport/boxing/k ... ht-3518044

St Andrew’s Sporting club confirmed that ‘unforeseen circumstances’ have forced the Scotstoun boxer out of the ring and to hand up his gloves, but he will continue as ‘head of talent’ within the organisation.

The shock news puts paid to hopes of an all-Scottish rematch against Edinburgh’s Lee McGregor later this year, after the pair met in 2019 for the British and Commonwealth title belts.

However St Andrew’s SC said the Pakistan-born boxer “has an invaluable wealth of skill and experience he is ready to pass on to our stable. Although ‘The Untouchable Kash Farooq’ retires from being a boxer, we are excited to begin this new chapter together.

“We would also like to take this opportunity to thank the British Boxing Board of Control and their support on the matter. Their procedures offer as a safeguard offering protection and prevention to potential harm, with the health and safety of the boxers being paramount at all times.”

Feels like a real blow, he was my favourite young Brit to watch, by some way too. Better that he’s safe of course but I’m sure the young man must be devastated.

Shame, I was looking forward to the rematch with McGregor.
