ISLAMABAD: Pakistan’s unbeaten boxing star Usman Wazeer delivered a stunning first-round knockout against India’s Baljit Singh, extending his flawless professional record to 18-0.

Wazeer dominated from the opening bell with sharp footwork and aggressive combinations. A powerful early punch sent Baljit Singh to the canvas, forcing the referee to stop the contest.

The victory marks his third consecutive win against an Indian opponent, further cementing his reputation as a clinical finisher on the international stage.

After the bout, Wazeer dedicated his triumph to the martyrs of Pakistan’s Armed Forces and thanked his sponsor ACTIVIT and its CEO, Rd. Rizwan Aftab Ahmed, for their continued support. He emphasized that structured and sustained sponsorship plays a decisive role in an athlete’s development, particularly in professional boxing where financial stability is crucial for competing internationally.

For the continued trust and backing, Wazeer expressed deep gratitude to Rd. Rizwan Aftab Ahmed for supporting his journey and career.

Beyond his own ambitions, Wazeer is also focused on grassroots development. Through his UW Box Academy, he is currently training six to seven young boxers from across Pakistan.

“Professional boxing is growing rapidly around the world, and it is progressing in Pakistan as well. The better our youth are trained and groomed, the stronger results they will deliver for Pakistan,” he said.
