Available for over a year<\/p>\n

To mark South Asian Heritage Month, Buncey is joined by former IBO world champion Jawaid Khaliq and the BBC’s Kal Sajad to celebrate the South Asian community’s contribution to British boxing. From the pioneers who broke down barriers to today’s new generation of stars, they explore how British boxing has evolved and why South Asian representation in the sport is stronger than ever. The discussion looks back at trailblazers such as Amir Khan, who paved the way, the challenges they faced, and the lasting impact they’ve had on the sport both inside and outside the ring. We also hear from two of Britain’s biggest boxing names, Hamzah Sheeraz and Adam Azim, who reflect on their heritage, their journeys to the top, and the responsibility they feel as role models for the next generation.<\/p>\n
