Some controversies already spoiled our training before world championship it was staged September this year in Baku, Azerbaijan, Muhammad Wasim, who is one of the most excellent boxer in Pakistan he takes bronze medal at Delhi commonwealth games most recent year, Gold medal in Combat games and has many other international medals, he wasn’t mentally organize for the Baku mega event, because Pakistan Boxing Federation (PBF) wasn’t allowed him to take part in his famous weight category which is 52kg.

Haroon Khan already represented Pakistan in Delhi Commonwealth games 2010 and took bronze medal wearing green shirt, but right now AIBA wasn’t allow him to represent Pakistan in WBC in Baku, when PBF officials finally missed the Haroon Khan then they were allowed to M. Wasim he can take part in 52kg but that time he was lost their consternation.

Due to internal politics PBF officials failed to safe and sound the Haroon Khan Case, AIBA how can ineligible him who already took a medal for Pakistan?, after loosing the Haroon Khan Pakistan squad hang about only on three boxers, here a big question is stay behind, Pakistan was sent six boxer last year for commonwealth games but what they have preparation for such type mega event like the world championship and Olympics, can Pakistan do impressive with only three boxers which is rocky one?
