Mohamed Mansour, 24, works as a guard at a Cairo mall. "When I was younger, I loved watching wrestling and martial arts — that's why I became interested in these kinds of sports. I also tried boxing for a while. I remember when I used to work on a farm in the countryside and I built my own gym there, with very simple equipment, to keep training. My workmates loved the idea and joined me in training. I just completed my military service a few months ago. I gained some fat in the military because I couldn't train regularly, but now I'm working really hard to lose it again."
