Reason for taking up this sport
He and all his brothers became involved with the sport from a young age as they would watch their father wrestle. Despite this he did not start practicing the sport until one year after his father passed away. (ahram.org.eg, 08 Sep 2004)

AUSPICIOUS START
He took gold in his first ever international competition, the 1997 Junior World Championships. At that point he had only been practising the sport for two years. (ahram.org.eg, 08 Sept 2008)
MIXED MARTIAL ARTS BOUT
He was lured into competing in a professional Japanese mixed martial arts [MMA] competition just four months after winning gold at the 2004 Olympic Games in Athens. He was matched with ex-professional wrestler, Kazuyuki Fujita, from Japan. The bout lasted just over one minute as Fujita, an experienced MMA campaigner, knocked him out relatively easily without Gaber really making an impression. He never again fought in a MMA competition.
