But he questions me that I represent Pakistan so why doesn't your country men sponsor you," he said adding they have also offered me to become a Korean national and they will support me.
He said recently he went to see Pakistan sports board Director General Dr.
Akthar Nawaz Ganjera but he did not meet him. He said he needed a total of Rs thirty million in order to compete with Nicaraguan boxer Roman Gonzalez in his next fight in November in USA. "I request the concerned authorities to help me in this time of need, as it will not only help me achieve personal glory, but also earn a good name for the country," he said. It may be mentioned that Waseem joined Professional Boxing in June 2015 and signed the contract with Korean Promoter Andy Kim at AK Promotion.
