President Asif Ali Zardari honored Shahzaib Rind, Pakistan’s first-ever world Karate champion, by presenting him with a Rs.100 million cheque at a ceremony held at Aiwan-e-Sadr on Wednesday.
The 26-year-old fighter from Balochistan recently made history by winning the prestigious Karate Combat Championship (KC-49) in Singapore.
Rind, a Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) fighter, achieved his groundbreaking victory last month when he defeated Brazil’s Bruno Roberto De Assis in the final bout of the competition. His triumph marked a major milestone for Pakistan, as he became the country’s first world champion in the sport.
Karate Combat, the organization that hosted the event, is known as the “world’s premier full contact striking league.”
