*KARACHI: **Pakistan's World Boxing Council silver-flyweight Champion Mohammad Waseem makes a comeback.*
Pakistan’s former World Boxing Council silver-flyweight champion Muhammad Waseem confirmed that he is set to make his comeback after almost a year on June 22 at the Emirates Arena, Scotland.
The Falcon, as he is known for his agility and resilience, is training in Glasgow for his fight, as he plans to redeem himself from the last fight, which he lost to champion South Africa’s Moruti Mthalane.
“I’m ready for this fight, and now with the date confirmed I’m more than confident,” the 31-year-old told *The Express Tribune* from Glasgow. “Now I’m training harder and better.”
Waseem has braved nine fights out of which he had won eight and recorded six knock-outs. He became the first Pakistani to win a WBC title in 2017 against Philippines’ Jether Oliva and then successfully defend the title same year defeating another Filipino Geimel Magramo to retain his streak. However, due to lack of sponsors and funds and a relationship with his manager straining, Waseem had to miss out on the bouts for almost a year after July 2017 with a loss of the IBF world title.
