MUHAMMED

A professional boxer, personal trainer, father and occasional actor, Saadiq Muhammed is a busy man. As he continues to grow in the boxing world while also focusing on work and family, he is pursuing yet another interest: modeling. For this year's Rochester Fashion Week, he led a group of local boxers in a runway performance, “Boxers in Action”, directing it and modeling himself during the show.
