Introducing Umar Sadiq

Umar’s route to beaconing a professional boxer is not the conventional story having won amateur tournaments in his early years and representing Nigeria in the Olympics before injury halted his progress. Umar took another route after graduating in accountancy at London Metropolitan University and spent time working and travelling, living life as a Londoner in the city. Recognising if he was ever going to become a pro boxer the time is now. Umar has decided to give up a job in the city to and compete in his first profession fight at the end of 2017. “The door is open for a set time” Director: Simon Lane Director of Photography: Jake Gabbay Camera Assistant: Max Gabbay Original Score: Bankey Ojo Production Company: Clouded Vision Special Thanks: Andrew Pyrah
