Bilal Fawaz Aims for British Passport

Bilal Fawaz, a British boxing champion who was trafficked to the UK at age 14, has lived in the country for over 20 years but does not hold a British passport due to his immigration status. His promoter, Eddie Hearn, criticizes the UK government for not granting him citizenship, which prevents him from traveling abroad for fights or personal reasons. Fawaz, who has become a British and Commonwealth champion, was previously held in immigration detention and is currently on a 10-year route to settlement, meaning he will not be eligible for citizenship for several more years. Despite representing England as an amateur and achieving professional success, Fawaz’s lack of official nationality restricts his opportunities and visibility in the sport.
