Boxer with a dream: Asif fights his way from a childhood in Pakistan on to a world stage

Pakistan-born Asif Khan Hazara achieved the title of Asia Pacific in Australia in 2022. Currently residing in Melbourne, Hazara is competing for two Australian clubs with the ambition of becoming the first person from Pakistan to win a world championship. He is seeking support from the Pakistan government as he is self-funding his rigorous training and all other expenses.
