Qamil competed at the 2010 Commonwealth Games in New Delhi. He was runner up in selection for the 2012 Summer Olympics in the light welterweight division but missed out to current WBO welterweight champion Jeff Horn with Gealan Toulea finishing in 3rd position. Qamil had beaten Horn early in his amateur career in Port Adelaide at the selection trials for the 2009 world championships but lost in a rematch at the Arafura Games in Darwin and then in the 64 kg category at the 2012 Olympic trials.
