Pakistan’s most successful professional pugilist and former World Boxing Council (WBC) silver flyweight champion Muhammad Waseem is all set to make his comeback on June 22 in Glasgow as he will take on Tanzania’s John Chuwa, while he believes it is going to be a year of transformation for him. The Quetta-born boxer is signed by MTK management and this will be his first bout after a year since he lost his fight against South Africa’s Moruti Mthalane for the International Boxing Federation (IBF) title in Kuala Lumpur, while the reasons behind his first defeat in the professional career went deeper than just a bad day. Waseem had to struggle with finding sponsors from Pakistan and he also had a not so pleasant experience with his manager earlier. But shedding the skin for the new challenge, now Waseem believes that he can knock-out Chuwa in the fight that will take place at the Emirates Arena in Scotland, and that will be aired across different continents.
