Pakistani middleweight boxer Shahir Afridi delivered a commanding performance in a high-voltage ranking bout against India’s Trijot Singh Bawa in Thailand, securing victory via technical knockout (TKO) in the fourth round.
Afridi unleashed a relentless barrage of punches from the outset, immediately putting his Indian opponent on the back foot. By the third round, Singh was visibly shaken and struggling to maintain his footing under the pressure of Afridi’s aggressive combinations.
As the fourth round commenced, the referee intervened shortly after observing Bawa’s inability to defend himself effectively, awarding the bout to Afridi by TKO.
The win marked a significant milestone in Afridi’s professional career, who now boasts an impressive record of 16 wins out of 18 fights, with only one loss and one draw.
The bout was part of an international ranking event, and Afridi’s victory has further solidified his reputation within the middleweight division.
The 27-year-old, also known as ‘The Markhor,’ serves in the Rapid Response Force of the Sindh Police.
In the women’s segment of the same event, Pakistan’s Aalia Soomro also made headlines by knocking out her Thai opponent in the very first round.
