Mohammad Haroon

If there’s one thing you need to know about Haroon, it’s that he lives and breathes pop culture. Whether it's the latest movie, a viral TV moment, or a new album drop, he’s on the news. But when it comes to sports? That’s where his real passion kicks in. From the chaos of the WWE ring and the speed of F1, to the grit of the UFC and the global love of soccer nothing gets him going quite like a big game or a high-stakes match.
