BANGKOK, Kingdom of Thailand — Pakistan’s Golden Boy Usman Wazeer (8-0, 5 KO’s), recognized by many as Pakistan’s most popular boxer since Amir Khan with a large following in the Islamic Republic, is more who ready to wage war for the vacant WBO Youth 147lbs world title at the next Highland Boxing Show scheduled for September 28 at the luxurious SpacePlus Night Club, RCA Plaza in Bangkok, Kingdom of Thailand.
Wazeer, 22, born on the banks of the legendary Astore River in northern Pakistan, has come to Thailand to fight tough and hungry Thai warrior Somphot Seesa, 23, for the WBO World Junior Strap. A win could lift Usman up to the WBO welterweight world rankings.
Wazeer, already the WBA Asian welterweight champion, following his KO victory over the hard-hitting Phatiphan Krungklang last June in Gilgit, has pushed in training, aiming to win another coveted headband he wants.
Throwing heavy artillery at him will be the intrepid Thai warrior Seesa, a disciplined, strong and dangerous fighter with a fantastic team behind him, as well as his own goals and ambitions.
Former muay thai fighter, Seesa, born in the “Golden Basin” of Ang Thong in central Thailand, awaits the night of battle, focused on cornering the visiting Pakistani fighter in a great storm of leather.
The main event will be supported by:
– Undefeated WBA #14 Filipino world ranked John Michael Zulueta (13-0-2, 6 KO’s) of Bacolod wants his third straight victory in Thailand when he battles local warrior Sittichai Nimnual for the ABF 108lbs Continental Strap.
