Nadeem Siddique (born 28 October 1977) Professional boxer.

Personal life

Siddique was born in Bradford, Yorkshire, United Kingdom.[1] He supports his local football team Bradford City and his favorite boxer is Sugar Ray Robinson.[2]

Amateur career

As an amateur Siddique was a 5-time Yorkshire Champion, 2x English Champion, England Schoolboy Captain and National Schoolboy Champion.[2]

Professional career

He made his boxing debut in 2002, and competed at both light-welterweight, and welterweight where he went on to win the BBBofC Central Area welterweight title by way of 4th round TKO.[1] He was also British Masters Champion.[2]

Siddique prepared for a fight against undefeated Julius Odion, however the fight was cancelled. His first loss came on his 22nd fight at the hands of then undefeated champion Martin Gethin.[3] He came back to fight after a year off boxing for his 23rd fight against Tom Glover, an opponent he had previously defeated. Siddique was disqualified due to continuous low-blows and subsequently put boxing on hold[1] due to a back injury.[4]

Siddique has said he has intentions of returning to boxing, stating;

'...I've a lot to prove...I'll be back. I had a horrible back injury so it has been a nightmare... I'm still training, I'm nowhere near done...' [4]

Siddique is now on the comeback trail with 3 fights and 3 wins and is on the verge of a major championship fight.

Championships held

  • Central Area welterweight champion
  • British Masters champion

Life outside boxing

Siddique is the founder of 'Make the Weight' gym; the opening of the gym was attended by boxer Mike Tyson in whose honor Siddique staged a 3-hour-long dinner-show with many A-list celebrities also in attendance.[4] The event was dedicated to Qasim Rahman, a Tyson fan who had died just as the two prepared to meet.

In 2009, Siddique along with Junior Witter organized a charity event where they washed cars to help raise money for the victims of Gaza; Siddique had hosted a similar event in 2005 for the people of Palestine and Gaza whereby he raised £52,000. He stated 'Me and Junior have been doing loads of things for charities and with our popularity in Bradford we always raise quite a few quid...'. The boxers later took part in a charity run to help raise funds for the same cause.[5]
