Hide AdTraining under the late Micky May who turned over numerous champions, Munim had a successful season, winning all his fights.
After May passed away, the Luton fighter decided to join Hoddesdon Boxing Club where he trained under head coach Sab Leo.
In 2016, Leo took Munim to three international tournaments in four months, as he boxed in Sweden, Copenhagen and Eindhoven, where he successfully won two gold medals as a youth boxer.
The following year, he became a senior boxer, which meant no headgear and he won his first bout at the club’s home show in Ware.

Munim then reached the National semi-finals of the NABGC tournament but due to a deep cut sustained by a head clash, he was unable to continue.
He soon returned to Hoddesdon BC once more, under head coach Leo to continue his amateur career which led him to become Home Counties champion at 64kg in 2018.
Jahid has now signed with British Warrior Boxing promotions, as he will be trained by his current coach Leo and managed by Mark Prior to further him in his professional career.
