Career

[edit]

Al-Hindawi's first major international tournament was the 2013 Asian Championships, which were held in Jordan. He lost his first match against Yang Yu-Ting of Taiwan.[1]

Al-Hindawi earned a silver medal in the middleweight event at the 2014 Asian Games in South Korea, losing to 2013 World Champion Janibek Alimkhanuly in the finals.[2] For his performances, he was nominated as a finalist for the Black Iris award for the Jordanian sportsman of the year.[3]

In 2018, Al-Hindawi won a bronze medal at the Arab Championships in April before winning gold at the International Elite Boxing Tournament in Algeria the following month.[4][5] He also made an appearance at the 2019 World Championships in Russia, losing to Sammy Lee by unanimous decision in the first round.[6]

Al-Hindawi participated in the 2020 Asia & Oceania Qualification Tournament held in Jordan, where he defeated Jolando Taala of American Samoa and Jakkapong Yomkhot of Thailand in his first two bouts.[7][8] Although he lost to 2019 World Champion Bekzad Nurdauletov in the semifinals, his two previous victories secured his spot at the 2020 Summer Olympics.[9] This was Al-Hindawi's third attempt at Olympic qualification, having previously suffered early exits at the 2012 and 2016 qualifiers.[10]

Al-Hindawi has won national championships in 2010,[11] 2012,[12] 2014,[13] 2015,[14] and 2018.[15]
