Mollaghasemi was the eldest child in a large family. He lost his father, a shoemaker by trade, at an early age, and had to start working to support his family. He took up wrestling aged 18. After retiring from competitions he worked as a wrestling coach and international referee,[3] and attended the 1964 Olympics in this capacity.[4]
