Pakistani boxer Usman Wazeer knocks out India's Eswaran in first round
Listen to article Pakistani boxing star Usman Wazeer knocked out India's S. Eswaran in the first round of their highly anticipated ranking bout in Bangkok on Thursday, extending his unbeaten streak to 16-0. Usman Wazeer recorded a stunning victory over India's S. Eswaran on Thursday, winning by technical knockout just one minute and 41 seconds into the first round of their international ranking fight at World Siam Stadium. Dubbed the 'Asian Boy', Wazeer entered the ring with a perfect record and wasted no time asserting his dominance. The Gilgit-Baltistan native dropped Eswaran twice during the opening round, forcing the referee to step in and call an early end to the contest. The win marks Wazeer's 16th consecutive victory in professional boxing and solidifies his position in international rankings. Before the bout, Wazeer expressed his intent to dedicate the win to Pakistan and called on his fellow countrymen for their prayers. 'Just like before, I will dedicate this win in the international ranking fight to Pakistan,' he said in a pre-fight message. 'I request the entire nation to pray for my victory.' The event featured 15 fights in total, with Wazeer's bout listed as No. 13. While it was originally scheduled for 3 pm Pakistan Standard Time, it took place slightly earlier due to quicker finishes in preceding matches. The bout was part of a broader evening of international boxing action in Bangkok, with Wazeer's emphatic performance standing out as a highlight of the night.

Champions Trophy 2025: Fixtures, squads and how to watch in Pakistan and Dubai
The Champions Trophy will return for the first time in eight years when it starts with co-host Pakistan taking on New Zealand in Karachi on Wednesday. It is the first time a global ICC competition has been played in Pakistan since the 1996 World Cup, but not all fixtures will take place there. The Indian government ruled that their side would not tour Pakistan, so their games will be played in Dubai instead. It means the venue for the final will only be decided five days before it happens. If it involves India, it will be in Dubai. If not, then it'll go ahead in Lahore. The Champions Trophy is a return to the days when people used to think a quick tournament was a good tournament. There are eight teams, playing 15 one-day international matches in the space of 19 days. That is two groups of four to start with, leading in to two semi-finals and then the final. Group A Group B All matches start at 2pm Pakistan Standard time, which is 1pm in the UAE.
