Ex-boxing champ arrested...allegedly tried to join ISIS

According to TMZ and BBC, a former British boxing champ Anthony Small is on trial in the UK for allegedly trying to sneak off to Syria to join ISIS
The 33-year-old boxer was arrested in England along with two other men after authorities say they were trying to forge documents to illegally enter Syria. Small and the two men have all been charged with engaging in conduct in preparation of terrorist acts -- though Small denied the allegation.
Small most famously fought in "The Contender Challenge: U.K. vs. USA" in 2007 -- when fighters from the U.S. reality show "The Contender" flew to England to fight up-and-coming boxers, including Small. 
Small defeated Walter Wright, who competed in Season 2 of the boxing reality show. 
Small converted to Islam at the age of 24 -- and in 2012, he made a YouTube video in which he said he quit boxing because the sport took place in venues that Muslims are forbidden to enter because of gambling, alcohol and half-naked ring girls.

All these Muslims in the UK dominating everywhere. These English people really gotta limit the way they welcome Muslims in their country before they start converting everyone.Islam is really a bad omen, it corrupts good fruit.

Linda - Is he 27yrs or 33yrs? I have noticed errors in your stories recently. Notably, your story yesterday about the transgender teacher who killed herself. The facts did not add up. Where you talking about the mother or the child? Please ask your writers to proofread before they post.

"...Anthony Small, 27..." Next paragraph, "The 33 year Old boxer...". how e dey do una sef? That said, these regular incidents of urbanized westerners sneaking off into the Middle East to become zealot hotheads, just goes to show how fundamentally twisted Islam is in its most generic form. A hitherto decent member of society suddenly undergoes a transmogrification, becoming a blood-thirsty beast from the sulphurous depths of Hades, eager and itching to commit depravities reminiscent of Hollywoood horror classics. Of course, I expect to be bashed for refusing to be politically correct, but unfortunately for my would-be bashers, when you are done, you'll still acknowledge the stark truth when you are alone. By the way, two Arabian swords crossed like a sickle beneath a flourishing palm tree signifies peace.
