Earlier, on Friday in the preliminary middleweight bout Pakistan’s Muqaddar Abbas had to be hospitalised after he broke his jaw in the second round against Iran’s Karkardi Hassan. Interestingly, he was actually announced as a heavyweight for the event by the Pakistan Boxing Federation.

On Saturday, flyweight Nauman Karim also lost to Liu Shih-Jung 27-5, while his team-mate featherweight Abid Ali lost to South Korea’s Ju Min Jae when referee stopped the contest as the Pakistani was outclassed in the third round.
