Pakistani boxer Aslam Khan passed away after sustaining five KO injuries
Hailing from the Pashin district of Balochistan, Aslam Khan was facing fellow Pakistani kick boxer and rival Wali Khan Tareen in an 80kg weight category match organised by a local club in Karachi on Saturday night.
Wali came out as the winner of the match, with a brutal KO to Aslam. The knockout was so hard for Aslam that he suffered five grave injuries from it and had to be rushed to a local hospital.
Unfortunately, the injuries Aslam endured from the KO was too grave for him to handle, as soon after being taken to the hospital, the pugilist was pronounced dead.
The disheartening news was shared on Facebook by professional Pakistani boxer Usman Wazeer, who expressed his condolences over the sad passing of his fellow boxer.
“Our prayers are with him. May Allah forgive him and all the boxers. Keep your protection in peace. Amen,” Wazeer wrote on Facebook, along with a short clip of the brutal KO that indirectly caused Aslam his life.
