Pakistani boxer Usman Wazir on Thursday knocked out India’s Thilak Selvam in the first round of welterweight bout at World Youth Boxing Championship being played in Bangkok, Thailand, reported 24NewsHD TV channel.


Usman Wazir knocked out Selvam in the first round of the six-round game as he displayed skilful techniques in the fight.


Wazir landed two back-to-back powerful punches on his opponent who looked powerless after the first hit.


Seeing the situation, the referee interfered and declared Usman Wazir as winner on technical basis.


Back in June this year, Wazir secured victory in his 13th international fight, triumphing in Bangkok, Thailand. In the international boxing event, he had defeated Thailand’s boxer.


This achievement marked a significant milestone in his career, underscoring nine years of unwavering dedication and self-reliance.


Usman Wazir has secured prestigious titles including the World Youth Title, Asian Title, and Middle East Title, bringing honor to Pakistan and Gilgit-Baltistan.
