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...'

Life outside boxingSiddique 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] References1. ^1 2 {{cite web|url=http://boxrec.com/list_bouts.php?human_id=154155&cat=boxer|title=BoxRec - Nadeem Siddique|publisher=|accessdate=27 June 2016}} 2. ^1 2 3. ^{{cite web|url=http://boxrec.com/list_bouts.php?human_id=282307&cat=boxer|title=BoxRec - Martin Gethin|publisher=|accessdate=27 June 2016}} 4. ^1 2 {{cite web|url=http://www.boxingscene.com/nadeem-siddique-bringing-mike-tyson-bradford--28727|title=Nadeem Siddique is Bringing Mike Tyson To Bradford - Boxing News|publisher=|accessdate=27 June 2016}} 5. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.thetelegraphandargus.co.uk/news/4083941.Boxers_clean_up_for_Gaza/|title=Boxers clean up for Gaza|publisher=|accessdate=27 June 2016}} External links
