Pro boxer Waseem determine to become first ever Pakistani World Champion
Mohammad Waseem's, foreign trainer, Danny Vaughan, says that the Quetta-born boxer is skilled enough to become the first ever Pakistani World Champion in the universe of boxing.
History says it all about Pakistan's professional boxer Mohammad Waseem as his collection of the titles consists of world silver titles, World Boxing Council (WBC) world silver flyweight champion to which he said that his only dream is to become the world champion.
The former two-time World Boxing Council (WBC) world silver flyweight champion signed a deal with the England-based company in January after the end of his contract with the Korea-based AK Promotions, under whose patronage the Pakistani fighter won two WBC world silver titles. The Quetta-born 31-year-old is optimistic about his new stint.
Waseem's Englihs trainer, Danny Vaughan, is very much optimist ofhim surely becoming the first ever Pakistani world champion to which he said:
“Yes, Waseem is skilled and very good at block and attack and there is no doubt that he will become the world champion,” Danny said in an interview from Glasgow.
Waseem has recently signed a three-year deal with MTK Global, a renowned boxer management company.
. Soon after signing Waseem in January, Mike Altamura of MTK Global said that it was a pleasure to sign a multi-year pact with the Pakistani boxing star.
He has begin his training in Glasgow in Glasgow Centre in Scotland.
Having lost just a single fight out of nine in his four-year career, Waseem is now eyeing a world title in the flyweight category in the next few months.
His trainer said that before going for the world title fight, Waseem would play at least a couple of bouts to improve his rankings. And his trainer confirmed that he would play his first fight on 22nd June, 2019.
“We will not rush. He will fight on 22nd of June while his opponent for the fight is not yet known. Four weeks before the fight he will know his opponent. He then will play another fight at the end of the year before going for his world title bout after Christmas. Maybe by March next year,” Danny said.
Waseem had not been properly looked after by the boxing governing body of Pakistan (PBF) although he had returned from Incheon after winning flyweight bronze medal in the 2014 Asian Games. It was after about 12 years that Pakistan had won a medal in the Asiad.
The only loss in Waseem’s pro career was against the International Boxing Federation (IBF) world champion Moruti Mthalane of South Africa in the IBF world title bout in Kuala Lumpur last summer. The final decision was made through a unanimous decision in favour of the South African despite Waseem’s outstanding performance in the jam-packed Axiata Arena of the Malaysian capital.
MTK Global is interested in organizing bouts for Waseem in Pakistan in future. The company officials are expected to meet the Ministry of Inter-Provincial Coordination (IPC) and Prime Minister Imran Khan. Meanwhile, Waseem said that he had been working hard since joining MTK Global.
“I have come here to train and I am training harder. The environment in Glasgow is not new for me as I have been here before; in 2014 when I won silver in the Commonwealth Games. Very soon I will get into top shape and will be ready for any future challenge. My only goal is to become the world champion. And Danny is a great trainer and I am lucky to have him to prepare for the biggest cause of my life. It’s just a matter of time; the day is not far when I will achieve my goal of becoming the world champion,” Waseem expressed.
