BANGKOK: Pakistan’s promising boxer Muhammad Shoaib Khan won the Asian Boxing Federation (ABF) Lightweight Championship after defeating Indonesia’s Hendrik Barongsay in a title fight, here on Wednesday.
Shoaib outclassed his opponent as he remained unbowed in the 10-round fight to claim 117 points compared to Barongsay’s 57.
