About Fayaz: Born in Tanzania and raised in Canada, Fayaz is now living in Tokyo where he works as a business strategy consultant at Deloitte. He picked up boxing two years ago—and it quickly became more than just a workout. Outside the ring, he’s a licensed pilot who flies for fun, a steak-grilling aficionado, and a globe-trotting scuba diver with a love for all things active and adrenaline-filled.

Message from Fayaz: I’m fighting in this charity boxing match not just to test myself, but to throw some real punches at something that matters—childhood cancer. These kids are in the fight of their lives, and if stepping in the ring can help even a little, then I’m all in—headgear, mouthguard, and heart.

So if you’re reading this, I’ve got one ask: help me make this punch count. Donate, share, show up—whatever you can do, it matters. Let’s show these kids they’ve got an army behind them!
