Shahir Afridi, a gifted boxer from Pakistan, defeated Somphot Seesa today (Friday) in Bangkok, Thailand, to claim his eighth professional victory. The bout was for the World Boxing Council (WBC) Asia Middleweight title.

Afridi, who prevailed in the third round of play, has a record of 6-0-1 and has never lost a match in his professional career. The Markhor, a 27-year-old member of the Sindh Police’s Rapid Response Team, also works there.

Afridi expressed his disappointment earlier in an exclusive interview for not being able to pique the interest of sponsors despite having a strong start to his career. “Sponsoring any sport or athlete other than cricket is forbidden in Pakistan. The Sindh government and numerous other people promised me financial prizes and other rewards after I beat the Indian boxer [Israr Usmani], but none of those things happened,” he stated.

“Meanwhile, multinational companies are solely focused on sponsoring cricketers. To be honest, I have never been sponsored by any company, and approaching them only results in insult. But I’m grateful to the Shahid Afridi Foundation and Mega Stars League for their prior assistance.

Afridi also discussed his future objectives, although he emphasised that he needed funding to make his dreams a reality.

“World champion is a goal shared by many athletes, including me. If I can secure a suitable sponsor, I’d like to contend for the WBC Continental and WBA titles, as well as defend them if I prevail. I also intend to compete for the Universal Boxing Organization belt and the world title, he added.

“I aspire to be a five-star fighter, such as Amir Khan. One of the top ten boxers in the world is where I want to be. I pledge to do this accomplishment as well if someone stands up and supports me,” he said in conclusion.
