Pakistan boxer Muhammad Wasim has met the Chief of Army Staff (COAS) in Rawalpindi, ISPR reported on Wednesday.
The 32-year-old is Pakistan’s most prominent pugilist and had an unbeaten record until he copped his first defeat against South Africa’s Moruti Mthalane last year.
The trajectory of Chaman born boxer career has been bogged by financial issues. In September, he knocked out a Filipino opponent in record time during a professional bout.
“COAS met boxer Muhammad Waseem at his office. Congratulated him for the recent achievement bringing honour for the country. Talent like you is our pride, we are here to support youngsters like you having potential and positive energy, COAS,” tweeted the DG ISPR.
