Mehmosh, who will fighting in the main-card of the event, has been on quite a run lately and has accumulated impressive victories around the world against opponents from Philippines, Afghanistan, Ukraine and China in the last 12 months. The 23-year-old is determined to make his country proud on home soil when he faces a tough competition in Arben Escayo on October 27.

“Alhamdulillah, I’m thankful for the opportunity and I will not disappoint my country. I respect my opponent but there is no way you can beat a Pakistani on his own soil. You will see me winning,” Mehmosh promised.

He also thanked his coaches and team-mates for helping him throughout his journey and in preparation of his fight. “All this would not be possible without Bilal bhai and MYGYM who are taking care of us as athletes and I won’t disappoint the team.”

The card will be headlined by Brazilian fighter Rodrigo Cavalheiro and Abdoul Abdouraguimov from Russia, while Uloomi Karim will face Jeremy Pacatiw in the co-main event of the card.
