ISLAMABAD, Feb 26 (APP): Pakistan’s unbeaten boxing sensation Usman Wazeer is set to return to the international ring on February 28, when he takes on India’s Baljeet Singh at the high-profile Global Fight Night at the World Siam Stadium in Bangkok.
Carrying a flawless professional record of 17 wins from 17 fights, including 12 knockouts, Wazeer will be competing in his 18th professional bout, with his eyes firmly set on extending his unbeaten streak and moving a step closer to a coveted Open World Title shot. “I have already fought two Indian opponents in the past and knocked both out. I am excited and fully prepared for another strong performance.”
Despite his young age, Wazeer has already secured multiple prestigious regional and international belts, including WBC Middle East Title, WBA Asia Title, WBC OPBF Silver Title and WBO World Youth Title. In recognition of his sporting achievements and contributions to Pakistan’s international image, Wazeer was also awarded the prestigious Tamgha-e-Imtiaz, one of the country’s highest civilian honors.
Currently, Wazeer is undergoing an intensive training camp in Karachi under the supervision of former boxer Ali Bakhsh. The camp, according to Wazeer, has significantly sharpened his technical and physical preparation, said a press release.
“I am training under former boxer Ali Bakhsh these days, and it is helping me a lot. He is not only mentoring me but also doing a great job promoting professional boxing in Pakistan,” Wazeer said. The Karachi-based camp focuses on endurance, ring IQ, defensive movement, and knockout precision, attributes that have defined Wazeer’s dominant run so far.
Wazeer also expressed deep gratitude to his long-time sponsor ACTIVIT and its CEO, Rd. Rizwan Aftab Ahmed, for their consistent support over his last five fights. Two of those bouts were against Indian opponents, and this upcoming contest against India marks a personal hat-trick for Wazeer in collaboration with the sponsor.
For this continued trust and commitment, Wazeer said he remains deeply grateful to Rizwan Aftab Ahmed for everything he has done to support his journey and career.
Beyond his own ambitions, Wazeer is also committed to grassroots development. Through his UW Box Academy, he is currently training and grooming six to seven young boxers from across Pakistan. “I am preparing young boxers who are coming from different parts of the country. Professional boxing is growing fast globally, and it is progressing in Pakistan as well. The more our youth are trained and groomed, the better results they will bring for Pakistan.”
Wazeer believes structured training systems, international exposure, and institutional backing could transform Pakistan into a competitive force in professional boxing. “If the government comes forward and assigns us this national duty of preparing future boxing stars, we are ready to serve for this national cause,” he said.
Like many professional fighters around the world, Wazeer also dreams of fighting in the iconic boxing capital of the world, Las Vegas. “Every professional boxer wants to fight in Las Vegas. It is a dream come true for any fighter, and for me as well,” he shared.
Wazeer said for now, his immediate focus remains firmly on Bangkok, however, his ultimate mission is clear. “My biggest and ultimate wish is to win the first Open World Title for Pakistan. That is why I am working so hard and making these sacrifices. I want to raise Pakistan’s flag at the highest level of professional boxing.”
