As a professional boxer Rahaman won 14 bouts, lost 3, and had one draw.
On October 17, 2019, in the United Kingdom, Rahaman's new book titled, MY BROTHER MUHAMMAD ALI - THE DEFINITIVE BIOGRAPHY, was released and it is receiving rave reviews! It is the most intimate biography ever written on the legendary sportsman who was Rahaman's 'Big Brother'. The book will make its USA debut in the Fall of 2020!
In his book, That's Muhammad Ali's Brother, Rahaman wanted to share with readers an inside view of he and his brother's life like never told before. A portion of all proceeds will be given to the Muhammad Ali Center as a way for Rahaman to give back to the brother and Louisville community he loves so much.
