European Heavyweight Champion Boxer Kash Ali and Tyson Fury/Anthony Joshua’s sparring partner Richard Towers visited the residence of UK Global Youth Ambassador and Crimestoppers Chair Zaf. Another person who was present alongside Zaf’s son was Zaf’s brother in law Shazad Khan. Shazad has been fairly active in the community recently and has always been available to talk to vulnerable youths who are on the verge of turning to crime.

Shazad has a big passion working out and always volunteers if anyone needs any guidance at the gym. The Boxers spoke about their experience in the sport and generally how they have engaged with the community through giving time to others. Richard Towers spoke about his experience in prison and how that made him a stronger person. “I had to fight to survive and being a big guy people thought they can put me down but i learnt the hard way that you have to fight to survive. I used all the negativity which was surrounded around me and became a better person. Now I can tell my story to everyone and it’s a pleasure talking to students earlier today at South and City College.”

Kash Ali” I love talking to youths and it’s always pleasing when people recognise you for giving something back to the community.”
