\nProfessional boxing was all set to boost in Pakistan, as the Amir Khan (AK) Promotions would hold the first-ever boxing show here at the Amir Khan Boxing Hall of the Pakistan Sports Complex on October 3.
\n\u201cWe are going to have likes of Usman Wazir, who is going to make his first Pakistan debut. We are going to hold an amazing boxing event comprising seven fights, wherein another great fighter Asif Hazara will also feature. He\u2019s a great amateur boxer who has won many gold medals for Pakistan. He\u2019s also going to make his debut in pro-boxing,\u201d Anwar Ahmed told.
\nHe said it would be a great event as Amir Khan would bring world\u2019s best boxers in Pakistan. \u201cIt\u2019s going to be an amazing journey in professional boxing in Pakistan. Boxers from Philippines and Thailand would feature in the mega event,\u201d he said without revealing their names.
\nSpeaking about pugilist Usman Wazir, he said he had been training hard for the event and would try to live up to his fans\u2019 expectations. \u201cDuring the COVID-19 lockdown period, he has tried his best to maintain his fitness level and I\u2019m sure he\u2019ll win the title bout,\u201d he said.
\n\u201cBeing a pro, every athlete has to keep himself fully fit. As gyms were closed in Islamabad due to COVID-19 outbreak, Usman had moved to Gilgit where had been training at Gilgit-Baltistan Scouts\u2019 gym. Usman will come to Islamabad on September 15,\u201d he said.
\nHe said, Usman, who was also known as Asian Boy would become number one in IBF Asian Boxing Federation ranking in super light category after winning title bout in October. \u201cAnd if he managed to defend that title twice he\u2019ll qualify for WBC youth title. That is his dream as in Pakistan\u2019s history no one has ever won that title,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
