First-ever pro boxing show led by Amir Khan coming to Pakistan next month!
Pakistan’s biggest boxing extravaganza is all set to return to Pakistan. Amir Khan Promotions will organize the first-ever boxing show at the Amir Khan Boxing Hall of the Pakistan Sports Complex on 3rd October.
“We are going to have the likes of Usman Wazir, who is going to make his debut for Pakistan. We are going to hold an amazing boxing event comprising seven fights, wherein another great fighter Asif Hazara will also feature. He’s a great amateur boxer who has won many gold medals for Pakistan. He’s also going to make his debut in pro-boxing,” Khan said in a video message.
“It’s going to be an amazing journey in professional boxing in Pakistan. Boxers from the Philippines and Thailand would feature in the mega event,” he said without revealing their names.
Speaking about pugilist Usman Wazir, he shared that Wazir had been training hard and won’t let his fans down. “During the COVID-19 lockdown period, he has tried his best to maintain his fitness levels, and I’m sure he’ll win the title bout,” he said.
“Being a pro, every athlete has to keep himself fully fit. As gyms were closed in Islamabad due to the COVID-19 outbreak, Usman had moved to Gilgit, where he had been training at Gilgit-Baltistan Scouts’ gym. Usman will come to Islamabad on September 15,” he said.
Usman has the chance to become number one in IBF Asian Boxing Federation rankings in the super-light category if he manages to win the title.

Thank you Amir Khan
Kudos and Bravo.
Need to better promote all sports , entertainment and arts in Pakistan , lack of promotion is old fashioned stigma and poor Government management and lazy ministers who have no clue or achievement levels, we can produce world championships and more world renowned artistes we have the ability and talent, we don’t have the right people in the right slots as yet and hey need to be on performance level or asked to leave.
