The World Boxing Council (WBC) Silver Flyweight Champion was praised by COAS for his outstanding achievements, stated an ISPR press release. The army chief further expressed confidence on Pakistani youth, saying that the young generation should follow Waseems footsteps to bring good name to the country.
Waseem successfully defended his Silver Flyweight title last November, beating the Philippine boxer Giemel Magramo by 114 to 112 points in the highly anticipated 12-round bout held in Seoul.
