His father Hussain Shah won a bronze medal in boxing at the 1988 Olympic Games in Seoul, which was Pakistan's first Olympic boxing medal and only second Olympic medal in an individual event. (thenational.ae, 18 Sep 2014; dawn.com, 28 Jul 2014)

He took up the sport at age four in Japan. (Asu Sho YouTube channel, 11 Jun 2020)

His father represented Pakistan in boxing at the Olympic Games, but his mother did not want him to follow in his father's footsteps. As the family were living in Japan, he decided to take up judo instead. "My mother didn't want me to become a boxer after seeing my father being punched 500 times a day. That's why she didn't encourage me to opt for boxing. Judo is a national sport in Japan where we live, and it is all about self-defence. So it is not just a sport, but also an important aspect of life." (thenews.com.pk, 12 Dec 2019; indiatoday.in, 16 Feb 2016)

To compete at the 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo. (thenews.com.pk, 12 May 2018; tokyo-sports.co.jp, 03 Dec 2017)

His father Hussain Shah. "I grew up hearing from people that my father is a legend. I am proud to be the son of Hussain Shah, it motivated and encouraged me to become a sportsman. My father has never pressured me for anything. Rather, he encourages me, whatever the results." (thenews.com.pk, 12 Dec 2019)

In 2015 he was named Best Player at the Japan Inter-University Championships. (thenews.com.pk, 02 Jul 2015)
