Bantamweight boxer Sumaila Badoor has been floored by a judge... after faking his identity documents.

The Ghanaian fighter went to Canterbury’s job centre claiming to be Portuguese Emmanuel Ore Famewo asking for a new national insurance number.

He claimed he was a manager of an Ebbsfleet company and was living in Bradstone Avenue, Folkestone.

But Canterbury Crown Court heard that the routine checks revealed the Portuguese identity card was bogus.

And when officials went Bradstone Avenue, they were told he didn’t live there, didn’t have his own company and worked in Sainsbury’s car park in Folkestone!

Prosecutor Abdul Gofur told that after being arrested, Badoor, 35, admitted his real name and said he lived in Walton Road, Folkestone.

The boxer came to Britain on a six month visa in 2008 and stayed on after marrying a British woman in March this year.

Oliver Kirk, defending, said Badoor had been a professional bantamweight boxer in Ghana and had come to Britain in the hope of furthering his career.

He admitted possessing false documents and was jailed for six months.
