Globetrotting Helmand Alekozai didn’t let car accident, tragedy halt boxing dreams
This Saturday, Helmand Alekozai will fight in his seventh country as a professional boxer.

It’s a remarkable statistic for the 31-year-old globetrotter from Toronto, Canada, who is hoping that exposure in the American market will help him move into title contention.
