KARACHI: Pakistan boxing received a huge blow ahead of the South Asian Games, when the organising committee dropped one middle and two heavy weights, restricting the competitions to six weights instead of the earlier seven.
As per fresh adjustment, light flyweight and lightweight have been inducted while middle weight, heavy weight and super heavyweight have been dropped.
After the development, the Pakistan Boxing Federation (PBF) sent the names of two fresh boxers Nadir Baloch (light flyweight) and Adnan Hussain (lightweight) while Nisar Khan (75kg), Yasir Javed (91kg) and Mir Waiz (91kg plus) have been dropped from the list. Both Nadir Baloch and Adnan Hussain had got silver medals in the Shaheed Benazir Bhutto International Boxing tournament held here recently.
Now, six boxers including Nadir Baloch (48kg), Muhammad Waseem (51kg), Niamatullah (54kg), Abid Ali (57kg), Adnan Hussain (60kg) and Aamir Khan (64kg) will represent Pakistan in the SAG which will be held in Dhaka from January 29 to February 9.
