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.
