Iranian Boxing Coach Returns Home Despite Risks

An Iranian boxing coach, known as Saeed, has made the difficult decision to leave his job in China and return to his home country despite the ongoing risks associated with the conflict. His story has touched many, gaining over a million likes on social media after his boss shared his decision online.

Saeed, who worked at a gym in Hunan's Xiangxi prefecture since 2024, initially sought a job in Iran due to the instability in the Middle East. His boss, Huang Zhaoxin, was impressed by his skills back in 2016 in Thailand. Saeed has always prioritized his family, stating that if he were to die, he would prefer to do so with his loved ones in Tehran.

The gym owner supported his decision, even paying for his flight to a war zone, highlighting the significant risks involved in his journey home.
