Double national champion Rashid Omar turns pro
MTK Global announce the signing of Cardiff boxer Rashid Omar as he turns professional.
Omar had plenty of success as an amateur, experiencing over 70 fights, winning two Welsh titles, and he’s excited to be joining the paid ranks alongside MTK Global.
Omar said:“I’m delighted to be turning professional and I wanted to sign with MTK Global because I think they’re the best in the UK.
“I’m excited for my future and my goal is to become a super featherweight champion. I can’t wait for my first fight and I want to show everyone what I can do.”
Promoter Lee Eaton added:“We’re delighted to welcome Rashid to the team. Welsh boxing is flying at the moment and he is another exciting addition from that area to the stable.
“We have fighters like Liam Williams and Jay Harris who are doing fantastic things for boxing in Wales, and hopefully Rashid can follow in their footsteps and have plenty of success.”
News on Omar’s professional debut will be announced in due course.
