Talking to APP on Thursday, he said he had had to wait six to eight months after the submission of records as two to three million rupees were required for on spot review and he did not have any sponsor.

He said my target was to achieve half century of world records in coming years as Kung Fu and Martial Arts was my passion since childhood and I would leave no stone unturned to hold new records.

Mehsud obtained Master's degree in sports sciences and runs a Martial Arts academy in Dera Ismaeel Khan which is far-flung district of Pakistan in the south of province Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. He said Pakistan is the land of talent where I had had trained more than 500 students during the past few years who won 10 Guinness World records for Pakistan.

Highlighting the lack of facilities in sports, he urged the Federal Government to spare sizeable amount for Martial Arts in "Kamyab Jawan Sports Drive" which was the flagship program of incumbent Government for the revival of sports in Pakistan.

"We can win many more international awards and break Guinness World records if Government provides us indoor space where I and my student can prepare ourselves for new challenges" he added.
