National boxer Muhammad Wasim has made a heartfelt public appeal to Maryam Nawaz Sharif, seeking her assistance in retrieving his passport, which is crucial for his preparation for an upcoming world title fight.
Wasim, a prominent figure in Pakistani boxing, shared his predicament on social media, expressing his growing anxiety as the date for his World Boxing Federation (WBF) bantamweight title fight rapidly approaches. The fight is scheduled for October 4 in Malta, but Wasim has been unable to join his training camp due to his passport being held up.
In his appeal, Wasim highlighted the urgency of the situation, stating, “The fight is close, and my preparation is at risk because I don’t have my passport.” He explained that he had submitted his passport to the Danish Embassy for a visa on July 22, but the delay in its return has left him in a difficult position.
The boxer emphasized the critical importance of his passport in ensuring he can adequately prepare for the bout, which is a significant event in his career. “If the passport is not returned soon, my training and preparation for the fight could be severely impacted,” he warned, pleading for its swift return.
Wasim’s appeal underscores the challenges faced by athletes in managing logistics while preparing for high-stakes competitions. The situation has garnered attention on social media, with many supporters echoing his call for a prompt resolution to ensure that Pakistan’s boxing star can represent the country on the global stage.
