Bilal Fawaz, the English light‑middleweight champion who drives an Uber to support his career, is set to fight for the British title belt on Saturday. The bout comes as he remains in the midst of a long‑standing struggle to obtain a British passport, a requirement for full participation in the national boxing scene.
Despite the administrative hurdles, Fawaz remains focused on the ring, hoping the title win will cement his status and potentially ease his passport application process. The fight marks a pivotal moment for the champion, who has balanced his day job with a demanding boxing schedule for over three decades.
