PAST, PRESENT AND FUTURE OF BOXING

WHERE IT ALL STARTED

Influenced by the great boxer Mike Tyson, a Bilat Shaista AKA (Bil Sha), was inspired to throw on the gloves and head into the ring as soon as he knew the sport existed. A fan of championships and boxing stars since adolescence, it’s no surprise Bil has thrived in his passion.

With six amateur fights under his belt between the ages of 17 and 19, Bil was thriving. However, due to family commitments, he couldn’t participate further as an amateur boxer…Until 2007.

In 2007, Bilat returned to the scene with fervour and has been committed ever since. From here, Bilat took part in local white collar boxing matches but unfortunately lost to opponent Tyrone Williams.

This didn’t deter him, though. Bil wasn’t going to give up now.

His obsession with boxing led him to continuously challenge and improve his skill set. Pushing himself and levelling up was the daily goal. This mindset led to more white collar events, and he successfully won all his bouts. During this period, Bil was participating in two to three fights a year, allowing him to focus on fitness and his craft.

Becoming an amateur boxer wasn’t Bilat’s only focus. He had bigger goals in mind.

In 2016, Bil was approached by the UKBU after his win over Scott Valentine. UKBU signed Bil as a semi-professional fighter for a five-fight deal. This allowed him to take boxing to the next level in the semi-pro leagues while moving up the British boxing ranks.

Bil went on to fight in the O2 Indigo, Greenwich. Here he won TKO style against Simon Jackson in the second round. Bilat won his next five featherweight division fights and was in line for the London Featherweight title.

Throughout his progress, Bil’s supportive fanbase helped him focus on his training regime and fighter mentality.

DEFENDING THE TITLE

INTENSITY IN THE RING, AND BEYOND

Bil Sha has overcome every obstacle in his path to witness himself become the image of the champion he’s always dreamed about.

Through a tireless struggle and countless exceptional performances, this wholesome gain is deserved without a doubt. Bil’s efforts have paid off in the most rewarding ways, and no fight ended in vain.

Growth, talent, and perseverance.

Bil Sha continues to live up to his title, ‘The Featherweight’ today. The GBBU describes Bil as a “skilful and composed boxer” and believes that he may be given a title shot during 2022.

But, Bil doesn’t focus on his boxing career alone.

He’s an entrepreneur in ownership of multiple businesses and a business management consultant who provides expert advice to start-ups and companies in the expansion and growth stage.

Bilat’s passion for business mirrors his passion for boxing – it’s all about achieving results in all areas. Bil believes that everyone has a choice to go forward or give up in life, and he’s found his success by continuing despite the challenges life’s thrown at him.
