Ali Tazeem Death Latest: Car Accident Video Footage
Ali Tazeem was a Teenage Boxing Star. He was called the next Amir Khan. He has been killed in a car crash at the age of 18.
Sam Jones confirms his death on Sunday morning following a car accident in the West Midlands.
In a Twitter post, Jones said: “This morning I woke up to the news that Ali Tazeem has passed away at the age of 18.
“I can’t believe it I can’t even process it properly.
“We only spoke yesterday talking about how he was going to light up the pro game, all I can think about is Ali and his lovely family.”
Ali won 15 international gold medals from 51 bouts, losing on just six occasions.
Boxing legend Khan compared the youth to himself, having recently said: “He will be the following me and impact the world forever.”
Talking after Tazeem guaranteed two gold awards in the Bristol Boxing Cup, he told the Express and Star in 2020: “I certainly think he is the following large thing without a doubt.
“All in all, the range of abilities he has, the development, everything truly helps me to remember myself when I was more youthful and how I used to battle.
“Certainly, I think he has got all that it takes [to succeed].
“What was especially amazing for me was he climbed a weight class to make it seriously testing, and wound up winning gold in both weight classifications.
“From that point forward, I have stayed in contact with him.”
