Bilal Fawaz, the English light‑middleweight champion, is set to face the British title contenders on Saturday. The bout marks a significant step in his career, but his journey to the ring is still hindered by a pending passport application.
Despite his success in the ring, Fawaz has spent the last 30 years battling bureaucratic hurdles to obtain a British passport. The fight will be a test of both his skill and his perseverance outside the sport.
