Subject : Trailblazer boxer Waseem disappointed over govt's indifference
Country’s first ever professional boxer, Muhammad Waseem has reached his hometown and expressed disappointment over absence of a government representative at the airport to congratulate him after he won World Boxing Council Silver Flyweight Title, reported Thursday. While talking to the media at the airport, Waseem said that he is determined to win more titles in the professional boxing under International Boxing Federation and World Boxing Association. “I always wanted to play for Pakistan and will continue to do so but the government is not supporting me,” the boxer complained. He said that Balochistan Assembly Speaker, Raheela Durrani and Hamid Achakzai, provincial minister were onboard the same flight but did not meet him.

He accredited his Korean promoter for the win and making him what he is today saying that he has spent approximately Rs 60 million until now on training and coaching. Muhammad Waseem on Sunday defeated Philippines’ Jether Oliva for World Boxing Council Silver flyweight title in Seoul. In a 12-round competition, Waseem knocked out Oliva and managed to gain fourth position in international boxing ranking. He had undergone two-month special training in United States and Japan ahead of the bout. Muhammad Waseem began his professional career in South Korea last year and won the Korean Bantamweight title on debut. He had previously secured knockout wins in all three of his professional bouts and also had an impressive amateur record with 2014 Commonwealth Games silver medal and 2010 World Combat Games gold medal to his name.
