Anthony Small, a 33-year-old retired light middle-weight British boxer who has been accused of attempting to join the terrorist group ISIS.
Small, Michael Coe and Simon were the three men who were arrested last year for a terrorist act, they are being accused by a court of trying to join ISIS.

The prosecutor Richard Whittam said during his opening statement in court, “The prosecution’s case is they intended to travel to Syria to join and support what is called Islamic State of Iraq and Levant, know as ISIL or ISIS.”
The Prosecutors allege that Small was the one who attempted to smuggle jihadist out of the UK and into Syria, so that they could perform a variety of terrorist acts for ISIS.
When Small was only 24-years old, he converted his religion to Islam and is known as Abdul Haqq…
He even showed his support for ISIS last September in a video that he made and released. The video excused that terrorist for their beheading of the American journalist too. In Small’s words, the ISIS group was “[weren’t] unprovoked.”
Regardless of the court’s charges, the three accused have maintained their innocence.
