A proud Coventry man, it was Cheema’s first ever time competing in the city in which he was born and raised. Cheema had transitioned to professional boxing following a highly accomplished run as a professional kickboxer, but Birmingham was the closest he had ever fought to home in either discipline. A high achiever in other areas of his life - Cheema was a world champion in kickboxing and holds a university degree - he now turns his attention to climbing the professional boxing ranks and winning equally impressive plaudits. Cheema’s new army of fans are joining his existing battalion, one which features a huge number of his fellow Sikhs. Drawing his ancestry from Punjab - a region of India with a long and storied warrior tradition - Cheema’s pride in his heritage is reflected in the strength of support he draws from the wider community across the UK. At 25 years old and with his professional record now including a win over the highly-regarded Rylan Charlton, runner-up in the tournament, Cheema looks set to secure big opportunities as he joins the BOXXER ranks on a long-term exclusive promotional contract.
