Former world title challenger Waseem (10-1, 7 KOs) arrived in Lahore from Glasgow to face Jeny Boy Boca (14-6, 12 KOs) of Philippines in an Amir Khan Promotions ranking event, taking place on December 19 at the Governor House.
“Yes, I have reached today. The weather here is okay,” Waseem said.
Waseem is accompanied by his trainer Danny Vaughn.
Lahore’s fight will be the first for Waseem on home soil. The 26-year-old Boca has played 20 bouts, winning 14 with 12 knockouts and losing six with three knockouts.
The event will be live telecasted on PTV Sports.
Waseem has played 11 bouts, winning ten with seven knockouts. He just lost one fight when he was controversially undone by South Africa’s Moruti Mthalane in the world title bout in July 2018 in Kuala Lumpur.
“I am going to take some rest and then tomorrow will do light workout just to maintain my weight,” Waseem said.
The fight is being arranged by British boxer and former two-time world champion Amir Khan, who is the president of the WBC Middle East Zone. Waseem plays under MTK Global, one of the major boxer management companies of the world.
Waseem’s MTK Global stable-mate Mohammed Sameer is also set to compete on the card, as he looks to win the second fight of his professional career.
