A professional boxer is alleged to be the enforcer behind three ­brutal kidnappings that terrified Sydney’s underworld over the past two years.

Serious Crime and Robbery Squad detectives charged slugger Humzah Khalid, 22, this week in a major breakthrough into the gangland abductions.

Police allege Khalid led the charge in the kidnapping of convicted drug smuggler Wayne Geokjian that saw him allegedly doused in petrol and his toes smashed with a hammer before he was dumped naked in Liverpool.

It was found he had sustained fractures to his legs when doctors at Liverpool Hospital eventually ­assessed him two days later.

Khalid and others, posing as Domino’s pizza workers, allegedly took Geokjian at gunpoint from his Dundas Valley mansion in February 2020 and only let him go after he paid a ransom.

Geokjian’s family also allegedly had guns pointed at them during the terrifying ordeal.

The boxer nicknamed The Raging Bull, from Regents Park, is also alleged to be behind the kidnapping of Yousseff Nagi in Punchbowl in March 2021.

CCTV footage from the time shows Mr Nagi being bundled into a nearby van while relatives can be heard yelling his name from the home.

He was eventually dropped back home by his abductors.

Just months later in June 2021 Khalid and others again allegedly struck, this time the boxer was accused of kidnapping, beating and holding Sam Amine hostage for seven hours before he was released.

Amine has since been held by police in Fiji on drugs charges.

Listing himself as being of Italian and Iraqi heritage, he has fought overseas and only lost two of his 12 bouts at both professional and amateur level.

Khalid was arrested after a raid on his home on Wednesday and charged with 13 offences including take/detain in company with intent to get advantage occasion actual bodily harm, participate criminal group contribute criminal activity, and possessing an unauthorised ­pistol.

“It would be a horrible ordeal for someone to go through,” Chief Inspector Anthony Holton said.

“Particularly to be dragged out from a house in front of their children. And to then be detained and not knowing what could happen to you. The motive … would principally be for money.”

Khalid remained in the cells at Burwood Local Court on Thursday when his solicitor Mostafa Daoudie asked for his case to be adjourned.

His case will go before a Sydney court later this year.
