The negative reaction to his conversion to Islam:

“…as if I had firebombed their church while tearing up an American flag.”

Khabib Nurmagomedov criticises Emmanuel Macron for terrorist attack response - https://t.co/7ywdI7dOwo

Earlier this year Khabib was listed in article we wrote on the most influential Muslims currently in Sport

Is Khabib Nurmagomedov the biggest Muslim sporting icon since Muhammad Ali?

[Organised_Chao5 @Organised_Chao5]

We are blessed to have had top level sportsmen over the years such as Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Mike Tyson, Mo Farah, N'Golo Kante, Mo Salah etc

But for his ability, record, dominance and character, Khabib is ahead of all of those imo

[Patrick @Pat_Healy_PD]

@Pillar2PostUK Hmmm, he definitely has a strong case!

The only other person I could suggest, is Prince Naseem. But upon achieving world status, out of the two I would say Khabib’s impact has probably been stronger. His sporting achievements/legacy, is probably superior too

[Titanium 🦾 @Introspkt_]

Yep

It's incredibly brave of cricketer @AzeemRafiq30 to speak out and heartbreaking to hear how racism within his sport affected him

[Sky News @SkyNews]

"One person's banter is another person's demise."

Former Yorkshire cricketer Azeem Rafiq has said "deep rooted" racism at the club left him close to taking his own life.
