Sheik Waziri’s journey as a boxing champion

Our Reporter 

Life hits hard in different ways, just like a saying goes; “when life gives us lemons, we should make lemonades”. I might add that, we can make lemon juice and even go as far as using lemon zest to bake, cook, and even grill.

Same applies to the challenges we face day in, day out.  Whatever life throws at us, it ought to make us and not break us, and we learn to make the best from worse situations.

Sometimes, it goes smoothly, other times tough and rough, and most People go through challenges and limitations but do not make it obvious, the same way they pull through.

Sheikh Waziri is a purpose-driven and determined person, who does things with so much zeal and enthusiasm, and wouldn’t let anything get in his way.

Sheikh Waziri is a left-handed orthodox fighter, who is now a professional boxer from the unlicensed boxing background. He took up boxing in 2008, then advanced to a semi-professional unlicensed competition and sees Mohammed Ali, as a mentor.

Like everything has its pros and cons, the good, the bad and the ugly. One of the challenges Sheikh Waziri experienced in the course of his boxing career was having to deal with a tragedy.

Sheikh Waziri was motivated into the professional line of boxing after a tragic demise of his sister in 2016, and a year after, he braced up and dealt with his father’s death which made him stronger and served as a trigger to do more and be more. He recreated himself by using the knowledge gotten from the books he studied like ‘The Art of War’ and ‘48 Laws of Power’.

The young champ has numerous awards to his name, and the British and European heavyweight championship belt in the semi-professional boxing ranks would not be exempted from his wins. He also gained recognition by the British Boxing Board of Control (BBBC).

Furthermore, Sheikh Waziri moulded himself as an entity to refuse defeat but welcome success and through his story, he believes he can enlighten people about living a purposeful life despite a tragedy. Sheikh Waziri gained better control over his mind and boxing added to the growth of his mental health. The emotional pain and distress he felt, set off a potential that turned him to an overcomer who outlived pains.
