BoxRec

Just having a browse through boxrec and came across Najah Ali. Whats happening with him? Last time out was a victory over Maguire but that was a year ago. Also upset Broadhurst.

Has he packed it in or is he in the 'who needs em' club?

I presume the latter, but I don't know for sure.

I remember before he fought Walsh it was regarded as a walkover beforehand, but Ali put him down. Martin Power always spoke up for Ali as being under rated and particularly then, and he was quite right.

Fantastic story too. I understand Najah only started boxing after Britains occupation of Iraq, I'm sure it was by attending a gym set up by the Army. He then came over to follow the dream.
