Mohammad Waseem's Title Fight in Jeopardy as UAE Visa Rejection Puts Bout at Risk

Pakistani boxing sensation, Mohammad Waseem, faces an uncertain situation ahead of his highly anticipated title fight against Donnie Nietes from the Philippines in Dubai. The championship bout, initially scheduled for July 22, now hangs in the balance due to an unexpected visa rejection for Waseem in the United Arab Emirates (UAE).

The setback was attributed to an oversight made by a member of Waseem's team, an Indian national, which led to the unfortunate denial of the visa by Dubai authorities. In response, the team, comprising the three-time WBC world silver flyweight champion, acted swiftly by re-submitting the application and hoping for a positive response within the next 12-13 hours.

However, time is of the essence, as there's a possibility that if the visa is not granted in time, the championship fight might have to be postponed until late July or early August. This development has left Waseem, who has been diligently training in Scotland for the battle against the formidable four-time world champion, Nietes, deeply disappointed.

The upcoming bout, supported by Dubai-based Disrupt Promotions, holds immense significance for Waseem, who boasts an impressive record of winning 12 out of his 14 professional fights. Having recently joined Disrupt Promotions after overcoming previous managerial setbacks, Waseem is determined to showcase his prowess in the ring and make a strong statement in the flyweight rankings. Sports fans worldwide eagerly await a resolution to this visa issue, hoping to witness an unforgettable clash between two exceptional boxing talents.
