Rehber Khan won the Pro National Kickboxing Championship title belt on 5 June 2022. The boxing champion is thrilled by the respect and honour he received from the Visakhapatnam city.

Rehber Khan is a 34 years old, born on 10 November 1987 in Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh. He completed his graduation in Bhopal. In 2003 while studying, he started going to the gym. He was initially very slim and wanted some muscles. So Rehber Khan began bodybuilding. After 11 months of practice, he came in the 2nd position during a district-level competition in his weight category. After six months, he became state champion. Later Rehber Khan won more than 30 state championships and district championship awards, trophies, and medals.

In 2007 he came to Visakhapatnam as he got a private job in Paradeep Parivahan Private Limited. He got married in 2008 to a native Vizagite. After that, he focused seriously on his job. Eventually, he left all fitness activities and bodybuilding due to a heavy work schedule. In 2010 he shifted his job and joined BOTHRA Shipping Services. Then started going to the gym for two months and again participated in Mr. Andhra Pradesh bodybuilding championship. There he came in the 1st position.

After Mr. Andhra Pradesh in 2010, he again stopped going gym. In 2013 he went to Indonesia on company work. And after that, he was transferred to Kakinada. He returned to Visakhapatnam in 2015 but was busy doing his job and family. 

In July 2020, due to COVID-19, his lunges were damaged by 75%. He was shifted to Appolo in very critical condition. For ten days, he was in ICU. At that time, his wife was seven months pregnant with their third child. It was the worst phase in his life, said Rehber Khan. He was not able to be with his wife during her pregnancy. Due to lung damage, he struggled to breathe and could not see his wife and kids. Finally, he returned after 15 days. 

 


The company where he was working, BOTHRA Shipping Services, supported him. They gave him one month's leave to recover. His third child, a baby girl, was born during this leave. He was happy and thrilled that everything was happy and back to normal again.

Later he and his son started learning boxing in TDA Boxing Club 2021. He started boxing to improve his lungs as his lungs were weak post COVID. After joining, he got interested in boxing and took it seriously. He enjoyed sparring and defence as it is a good fitness exercises. His coach Mr Tenki Durga encouraged him to fight in a kickboxing ring. The coach advised him to try in the selection round as he was 100% sure Rehab would win for Andhra Pradesh.

Rehab participated in State Level Pro National Kickboxing selection on 15 May 2022 and won 2 fights. He was selected for the Pro-National Kickboxing India league. Then Rehab Khah worked hard and intensively trained for nationals. He had to wake up at 4 am and practice. As he is an employee, he had to practice in the early morning and go to the office. 

On 5 June 2022, he won the Pro National Kickboxing Championship title belt. His hard work paid off, and he was thrilled to get so much respect from Visakhapatnam. 

Rehber Khan said Visakhapatnam is the best city in the whole world. As he got a job, his wife Amreen and their kids. And also he became a professional Kickboxer in India.
