Pakistan’s Shahir Afridi Defeats India’s Trijot Singh with Fourth-Round TKO in Thailand Bout
This victory improves Afridi’s professional record to 16 wins, 1 loss, and 1 draw in 18 fights
Pakistani middleweight boxer Shahir Afridi delivered a dominant performance to defeat India’s Trijot Singh Bawa via technical knockout (TKO) in the fourth round of a high-profile international ranking bout held in Thailand.
Afridi, known as “The Markhor,” overwhelmed his opponent with relentless and precise combinations from the opening bell, forcing Bawa onto the defensive.
By the third round, Bawa was visibly shaken and struggling to stay upright under Afridi’s aggressive onslaught.
The referee intervened early in the fourth round, stopping the fight due to Bawa’s inability to defend himself effectively, awarding Afridi the victory.
This bout took place amid heightened political tensions between Pakistan and India, adding symbolic significance to Afridi’s commanding win. The match was seen by many in Pakistan as a moment of national pride during a period of strained bilateral relations following recent security incidents and diplomatic escalations.
This victory improves Afridi’s professional record to 16 wins, 1 loss, and 1 draw in 18 fights, further cementing his reputation in the middleweight division.
Afridi, aged 27, balances his boxing career with his service in the Sindh Police’s Rapid Response Force, adding a unique dimension to his inspiring journey.
