Third time bad luck for Ahmed and Khademi

After 34 rounds of boxing together, both Ijaz Ahmed (10-2-2, 1 KO) and Quaise Khademi (8-1-2, 2 KOs) won against their rivalry.

Three matches over the span of 16 months began with Khademi winning the decisive round of 10 in February 2021. Six months later, the two played each other a draw and then the same result repeated on the night. now in Telford.

Judge Howard Foster scored it 115-112 in favor of Ahmed, Terry O’Connor gave it to Khademi 114-113 and Phil Edwards the card was unpopular, a draw 114-114. It was a verdict that terrified both and they expressed their disgust in the ring at the end of the match, meaning the British Flyweight Superweight title remained vacant.

Khademi’s boxing, movement and hindfoot speed gave Birmingham’s Ahmed a variety of problems while the latter pushed forward unfazed by whatever came his way.

In the first rounds, Khademi will show off some eye-catching moves such as a top hit then move away from the opponent to get him into chase mode again. The Afghan-born Londoner always coordinates his shots. Singles, combos and a loop all play a part in them as well as his fitness, which has never failed him once even though he’s been on the move for 12 innings.
