Proud Pakistani, Muhammad Waseem successfully defends WBC Silver flyweight title


KARACHI: World Boxing Council (WBC) Silver flyweight champion Muhammad Waseem defeated Philippines’ Giemel Magramo in Seoul, South Korea on Sunday to successfully defend his title.

The Quetta-born boxer outplayed Magreamo in a tough 12-round fight and won by a 3-0 unanimous decision.


Magreamo was undefeated in his previous 17 bouts and previously held the WBC International flyweight belt. However, Waseem’s heroics put a dent in the Filipino’s record.


Waseem had captured the Silver title in July by defeating Jether Oliva in what was only his fourth professional bout.


 Before his fight waseem has said 

“Magramo’s profile is good but it doesn’t intimidate me as I am also undefeated in my professional career.”


When asked if Magramo could become his knockout victim number four, Waseem refrained from speculating and hinted that his strategy will not be premeditated on ending the fight in a particular round.


“I can’t say I’ll knock him out in a particular round as it is not very nice. I would like to have a knockout win, but it depends on the situation during the fight. I’m very good with body shots so there will be a lot of those,”
