Dr Fiaz said Waseem has won laurels not only for the NTDC but also for the country which is a great honour for the nation as well. He gave away a cheque of Rs 600,000 to Waseem as cash a reward from NTDC.
He assured the Boxer that a world class training centre will be established for training of boxing players who will represent NTDC at national and international level and financial support will be provided by NTDC and prospective sponsors.
