BANGKOK (Kashmir English): Pakistani boxing star Usman Wazeer knocked out his Indian opponent in the first round of their ranking bout in Bangkok on Thursday.
Wazeer delivered a stunning performance against India’s Eswaran Sahita Durthy, extending his unbeaten streak to 16-0.
The 25-year-old boxer took just one minute and 41 seconds to win the first round of their international ranking fight by technical knockout at World Siam Stadium.
Usman, also known as ‘Asian Boy’, stepped into the ring with an unbeaten record of winning 15 matches in his career.
The Gilgit-Baltistan-born boxer floored Eswaran twice during the opening round, forcing the referee to step in and call an early end to the contest.
The win marks Wazeer’s 16th consecutive victory in professional boxing and solidifies his position in international rankings.
Before the bout, Wazeer expressed his intent to dedicate the win to Pakistan and called on his fellow countrymen for their prayers.
“Just like before, I will dedicate this win in the international ranking fight to Pakistan. I request the entire nation to pray for my victory,” he said in a pre-fight message.
