Former UFC champion Welterweight Belal Muhammad attracted the boxing gloves this week for a rare sparring session.
Division of ex-title owner Muhammad is better known for his wrestling skills, which earned him the belt when he dethroned Leon Edwards in July last year. But he is also notorious for comparing his striking with that of Ring icelogram Canelo Alvarez.
And he had the chance to show off his pure battle for fans in a short video shared by Misfits Boksster Slim Albaher on Instagram last night. The pair sparkled for a short period before the video was cut out, but showed Mohammed in a single -boxing environment.

On the weekend, Muhammad connected itself with renowned Miskits Boxing Star Slim Albaher. The couple have been friends for a long time and could finally spar in, even share a short clip that fans can enjoy.
Albaher is a pure boxer, with a record of 7-1 with five knockouts, and as such he can only be busy with boxing sparring. It meant that Mohammed, a more well -known wrestler, was able to use his hands in the images.
“Training session with my twin brother,” wrote Albaher in the caption for his position. “The UFC world champion.” Mohammed replied by telling him that it was 'great work' and referring to the former Misfits title holder as 'my brother'.

Viewers had mixed reactions to the new boxing images of Muhammad, with a few jokes about his “Canelo -Handen” against the much less experienced Albaher. The social media star only started boxing in 2019 for a fight with Yousef 'Fousey' Erakat, so it still develops his skills.
Top boxers, including former world champion Kal Yafai and Hamzah Sheeraz, were among the more positive comments, although they simply shared emojis instead of words. However, there were much less free on X.

“If you sparring a man, you always respect a lot of bodyshots,” wrote a commentator. “I don't really want to hurt them, not even by accident.”
Another added: “Smart looks at an absolute amateur. In is not logical for someone with a training of six years. The highest guard that you are conceivable, he looks terrified and makes himself an open target. This is how someone goes the saving in their first few months. Guy is backwards.”
