As per local media reports, the boxer Aslam was rushed to a private hospital at University Road, where he was shifted to ICU. However, he succumbed to his injury. Aslam had represented Pakistan in international kickboxing competitions.

The Pakistan Boxing Federation (PBF) has condemned the incident and disassociated itself from the organizers, terming the event illegal.

“We have no connection with this so-called professional boxing council, nothing is being done with our approval. We cannot compromise on the safety of our boxers,” Col Nasir Tung, Secretary-General of the PBF, said while speaking to the media.

There are some pre-requisites to become a professional boxer, and the way these boxers are contesting in the name of professional boxing is questionable.
