about

Nicknamed ‘The Untouchable’, Farooq debuted in 2015 at just 19, winning a comfortable points decision in Glasgow and the Bantamweight contender notched five more points victories consecutively, before securing his first stoppage as a professional in September 2017.

Farooq stopped Scottish compatriot Scott Allan in the eighth to claim the Scottish Area title at 118lbs to move 8-0 before continuing his KO run into 2018, disposing of Jose Hernandez in the second round before stopping Jamie Wilson in the first to scoop the vacant British title in just his tenth pro outing.

Impressing Eddie Hearn in a close fight with Lee McGregor, Farooq joined Matchroom in late 2019 and is tipped to have a big future in the sport by many.
