Another great piece by the one and only Donald McRae that I thought was worth sharing. Fawaz comes across as a really good fella, so really hopes he gets a break:

Thanks for sharing Deserter. At 32 years old time isn’t on his side but I pray he can become a success.

Already one hell of a story!

He's a positive man, looking at his training I'm not sure he has a great pro style, he'll have to be moved along quite quickly, be interesting how he does.

Agree, one of the few overcoming adversity stories that isnt totally overdone and trite in boxing

Lads had some bad luck.

Best of luck to him, another good article by McCrae.

Glad it's resonated with you and a few others mate as his story genuinely touched me. Incredible that he's managed to stay positive in the face of all that adversity.

Ironic that he should sign for MTK I suppose. Good luck to him.

This bloke is fornicating incredible. What a life he's lived.

I really hope he gets a life changing money fight.

Probably one person that’s earned citizenship.

British champion and he’s not even got a British citizenship.

Crazy.

Is Eddie still helping him push this?

McRae and Hauser are the two best boxing writers there are imo

Obviously I'm just thinking out loud but what do you reckon of Bilal against Bakhram Murtazaliev?

The Russian hasn't fought in 10 months & hasn't won a fight in two years (Tszyu has fought FIVE times since Murta destroyed him). He fought for Eddie last time out so come on Hearn, get your wallet out & make a big fight for the lad.
