Some international man of mystery this Mustafa Ameen is or was. The Amir Khan “brain trust” may have never seen or heard of this middle-aged African American guy who Golden Boy honcho Richie Rich Schaefer oddly refers to as “the mystery man in the black wool hat” seen sitting first row ringside at the controversial December 9 title bout in Washington, DC, in which local fighter Lamont Peterson defrocked King Khan. Maybe Khan’s business manager Asif Vail never heard or saw of Ameen before the Khan-Peterson bout. I guess you would have to really be in boxing or move in USA amateur and pro boxing circles to know who this admittedly fringe character is. But I know him, having met him at fights in Las Vegas and elsewhere where he was usually squiring his amateur heavyweight protege and 2012 London Olympic hopeful Michael Hunter (son of the late journeyman pro, Mike “The Bounty” Hunter).
