Syrian wrestling champ inspires young refugee's dreams
Wrestling has been the most positive thing Mohammad has done since fleeing war in Syria and arriving with his family at Za'atari refugee camp in Jordan. He says it calms him down, improves his mental health, and allows him to get his frustrations out while doing something he enjoys. He has been training every day for the past three years, and last year he became the champion of the camp when he won the wrestling tournament.
This is a story about a boy who dreams of the ultimate fight.
