The rise of British Pakistani boxers

[Samurai_assassin]

Read what I wrote above, I did say not represented in sports in general.

How many boxers of Pak heritage have made it big? I can only think of two. Jawed Khaliq and Amir Khan. Please state how many you know?

 

[313ghazi]

I've read what you wrote and I'm asking you how many are represented in football, since football is the most popular game in the UK.
Please state other sports as well.

He stated there is an over representation in boxing, but not in other sports.

Why are you asking for the few people who are present in other sports?

FWIW here is a list from wikipedia - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_British_Pakistanis#Sport

How many boxers of Pak heritage have made it big? I can only think of two. Jawed Khaliq and Amir Khan. Please state how many you know?

That's two world champions from a community of around 1 million then, now it's more. Define what do you mean by making it "big". Do you realise that the vast majority of men competing in the ranks will never make champion? Having a good record in what is perhaps the most competitive arena alongside the US is still a great achievement.

The scene has many young and upcoming Pakistani heritage fighters and of course it will take them some time to make it big, as it does with any young fighter.


Here's a few.

Most of the jail's in UK are occupied by a large number of Pakistani British 2nd and 3rd gen... The UK Pakistani community is fraught with gangs, drugs, and prostitution.

That's why they are probably turning out more boxers.... Environment.

American Pakistani community (like mine) are much more successful and better educated than the British-Pak.

American immigration policy allowed only the educated Pakistani (largely)... UK immigration allowed wholesale import of uneducated Pakistani.

No they are not bro, where did you get this from?

Here a screenshot of the ethnic make-up of the prison population. The Asian population is representative of the total population they have in the UK i.e. 8%. If Pakistanis were overrepresented the percentage figure would be higher.

Here is more;

When the data entries for prisoners whose ethnicity was either not recorded or who preferred not to provide it are removed, we can see that on New Year’s Eve 73.1% of our prison population was recorded as “white”, 12.7% as “Black/African/Caribbean/Black British”, 8.1% as “Asian/Asian British”, 4.6% as “Mixed/Multiple ethnic groups” and 1.5% as “other ethnic groups”.

The ethnic backgrounds of our prison population

We know that people from BAME backgrounds are over-represented in our prison population, but why does the ethnic make-up vary so much between different prisons?

www.russellwebster.com

The Asian population of the UK back in 2018 was at 7.5% so the above stats correlate with the same percentage of the population now.

people from Asian ethnic groups made up the second largest percentage of the population (at 7.5%)

Population of England and Wales

According to the 2021 Census, 81.7% of the population of England and Wales was white, 9.3% Asian, 4.0% black, 2.9% mixed and 2.1% from other ethnic groups.

Bro with all due respect as well there are a fair few things wrong with the US and Canadian community as well. One of which is extreme liberalism and the dropping of their culture and faith.
Take a look at this wedding.
A supposedly Pakistani Muslim girl marrying a Hindu Indian guy, no conversion, full of all traditions. Now I know you can say that it's one wedding but look at the sheer numbers of Pakistanis who are there, a fair few in Hijab to celebrate this randi rona.

Suffice to say that this wouldn't happen here, she would be disowned fast. There it was celebrated. I know this doesn't represent all, however nor does pendo behaviour, criminality etc represent us here. There's a few malicious comments made by US Pakistanis on this issue but they really shouldn't talk when you have this going on.

Brother WAZ I love you to bits but that last youtube clip you put makes me want to........... ............in the good old days, they would never let this happen.

Brother WAZ I love you to bits but that last youtube clip you put makes me want to........... ............in the good old days, they would have allowed this.

Bro made me sick seeing it. Had it been her that was bad enough but it seems her family and friends turned out to "celebrate". Tauba. It's not the only video as well. But like I said it doesn't represent them, but for some reason we should all be labelled as prisoner gangster types.

1. Why not be a career revolutionary like Carlos ( the jackal ) instead ?

2. If someone wants to build character they can form discussion and action groups to :

​

a. Help the police against mob bosses, drug gangs etc.​

​

b. Bring progressive thought to society. Like in the Anglo countries there was the Occupy movement which started as Occupy Wall Street in 2011.​

​

These will really build character and help their local society and the world.



There are other Black people who worked for liberation of the Blacks. I know a bit about Malcolm X. Look at one of his statements : "The only way we’ll get freedom for ourselves is to identify ourselves with every oppressed people in the world." Now isn't that more intelligent and pan-human than some Black boxer ?

Maybe Muhammad Ali was a good man but engaging in violence, which is what his "sport" was, for trivial reasons was a waste of effort. And what was his reward ? Did he liberate a country ? He was left with Parkinsons disease because of all the blows he suffered because of his career activity. Was it worth it ?



How is any different now ?

Hold on.... mate.

You are a child in comparison to those of us who grew up under Mohammad Ali's shadow. He brought to us a sense of pride and a message to fight against colour barrier. All this Martin L. crap of be good ghandian did not get us anything here. We went with M.Ali message. He was extremely political and of course Mandela himself was avid Amateur boxer.

Come here for yourself and walk from Cape to Cairo and ask anyone including those of your age who Mohammad Ali is -> They will tell you.

May he rest in Peace and be boxing the greater champs. He is and will be the Champion for us in Africa.

Bro, we only get called gangsters because we put our adversaries and the racists in their place. We have got them under manners. I rather that then be effeminate weaklings.

I somewhat agree, i have some cousins who are in jail for murder because they shot someone they had “beef” with recently, there’s a decent amount of Pakistanis in jail, usually for Birmingham and Bradford areas, however jail is still mostly occupied by black carribeans/Africans and in certain areas whites. Islam is a big thing in jail, however it’s mostly converts from the aboves.
