      Troll thread.

      First off, I don’t trust (believe) in the UK numbers about Yemeni statistics. Politics within Parliament would suggest that some don’t want more diversity showings since the people have divided opinions...

      The Yemeni population have a rich minority history in the UK. I take it however in later decades many Yemeni left to neighboring European countries with those acquired circumstances. Having left the UK with English to neighboring countries was a beneficial perk for status.

      Though the answer is quite simple for what is today. I’d say current Yemeni boxers were inspired by Hamed or least their parents were inspired and out their kids in boxing. When there’s a minority and circumstance of Hamed I’d say new gen boxers work hard to put in the work. Also their resistance is grimey since I’m sure they get harassed in schools which is normal. As a youngy you get to grind with fights.

      End of.

        Honestly boxing in america is almost dead, the fans aren't that interested. They have other sports that they invest their energy into. So i don't expect all these communities to go into boxing, they would go with what is the most popular sport in their country.

          This. Arabs are a mixed people including any neighboring countries that speak Arabic... they look more or less all the same to me, and especially when ****** groups in the UK started new generations mixing with other Arab ethnic groups.

            Yes I have seen this said in the past, but people where not entirely sure 'Always been some speculation'.

            Kell Brook is the last boxer that has a connection, to the Ingle's gym golden generation.

Agree thats why dont have any Indian champs from the UK because they are the richest ethnicity in the UK.

                It could be that a lot of Yemeni kids in the UK were inspired by him and went to the gyms. I know kid Galahad went to a gym because Hamed told him to when he met him as a kid.

                Also when it comes to Indian people it’s a different thing. I grew up with a lot of British Indian kids and their parents always put so much pressure on them getting a great education and real career that playing sport, especially boxing as a career was basically not going to happen. Same as most of the Chinese kids I knew. That’s why despite having a lot of Indian people we don’t have many Indian footballers at all. Although the families sometimes don’t mind them pursuing cricket..

                    Kids mimic other kids or parental views. The root of the problems are stemmed from influence. Kids aren’t intuitive with desire for racism... kids are pure. They enter a world of hell. Influence shapes the future

                      The man was being complimentary and you went all in on him. You should lower your tone and soften your stance.
