Raheem Muhammad: Emerging talent puts Telford's boxing scene on map
Raheem Muhammad believes Telford’s professional boxing scene is ‘in the best place it’s ever been’ after a surge of emerging talent.
The 20-year-old is one of a handful of stars putting the town on the map and he currently sits at 2-0 in his budding career.
His last win came in early June and Muhammad insists boxing in the area is back on the rise.
“On a professional basis, I’d say the Telford boxing scene is in the best place it’s ever been,” he said.
“Before there was not much going on in Telford, but with everyone doing so well now it’s means we’re on the rise.
“More fighters will probably start coming through Telford as more big shows take place here.
“We all looked up to Richie Woodhall – since then it kind of died off, but now it’s on the rise again and hopefully it will keep climbing.”
