    Reaching into a new fan base. Pakistan is a nuke power.

    They got good fighters

    Even some good rappers

    Inbreeding is a serious problem..

        Maybe he sees potential and talent....some will go further and progress others well maybe not so much but it is good to see some talent coming out off the Asian community in the boxing ranks for a change, This news Must seem to irritate some people in here given their already cracking jokes about glass jaws and inbreeding

          Actually a lot of them have granite jaws in the amateur ranks, there is a boxer named Adam Azim, 2 time golden glove, 2 time GB champion, 2 time European champion, is ranked number 1 worldwide in the welterweight amateur, he has over 300 fights and is sponsored by MTK global, same brand who is sponsoring Fury. He also defeated David Haney in the amateurs, has called out Mikey Garcia and was pummeling Luke Campbell in a sparring session.

            A lot of them in the amateurs have granite jaws, Adam Azim is a 2 time golden glove, 2 time GB champion and European champion, is ranked number 1 in the amateur welterweight division, beat devin haney in amateurs and was beating Luke Campbell in sparring too. Another is Muhammad Waseem who has never been knocked down in 300 fights, Hes already pro and held WBC and is ranked 4 in IBF rankings right now sponsored by MTK global

              Not really, his stable is filled with guys running the amateurs and scaring the pros during sparring sessions, for example Muhammad Waseem who is a rising name has never been knocked down yet in over 300 amateur fights nor in any of his pro fights yet, he is ranked 4 in IBF rankings and only lost one fight off of split decision. Then you have Adam Azim who is ranked number 1 in the world in the amateur divisions in the welterweight category. He literally looks like some Pakistani Sugar Ray Robinson and Haggler put together. He has 2 golden gloves, 2 GB world champion, 2 European championships, and also beat Devin Haney in the amateurs, its known Devin is really good. He has also been beating Luke Campbell in sparring sessions too. The guy's brother is just as good as he is. Even people say Tyson Fury has a glass chin which in a way isn't true. There is even a few people who say Muhammad Ali was a bit chinny too

                Thanks for the info and course correction!

                My marine cousin married a Pakistani girl who converted to *******, she is some heart surgeon specialist, and my departed dad, loved her family...

                They could eat pastor(sheep/lamb) tacos with habaneros.

                My family is equal opportunity...
                we just don’t like mormons and 7th day Adventist.

                Thanks again for the course correction

                    They should do well at the lower weights, in reality most native brits aren’t 5’3 weighing under 10 st. Amid Kahn/Prince naseem have helped tap into a lot of potential, as for what ever reason boxing isn’t big in the homelands.

                      Promoters are there for business and would sign anyone where they can smell profit. Besides, it takes one or two big names to motivate an entire generation of youngsters into something. Amir Khan has been successful and I am pretty sure a lot of Pakistani origin kids would get motivated to take up boxing. Not all will make it to the pros and even fewer would succeed.

                      Good for the sport if it gets more diversified.
