Pakistani kickboxer Abdullah Chandio delivered an impressive performance on Friday, defeating Jordanian fighter Ali Alqaisi in the Karate Combat-54 event held in Dubai.
The 24-year-old secured a unanimous decision victory after three intense rounds, further establishing his presence on the international martial arts stage.
Chandio is competing in the prestigious Karate Combat-54 series alongside fellow Pakistani athlete Shahzaib Rind.
The event is part of the globally recognized Karate Combat league, the world’s first professional full-contact karate competition, which has been hosting international events since its inception in April 2018.
Originally from Karachi, Chandio has steadily risen through the ranks of professional kickboxing. He first gained international attention in 2022 when he made a memorable debut by knocking out Indian opponent Muhammad Shuhaib in the BKK Kickboxing Championship, also held in Dubai.
