Who is Shahzeb Rind, the 'first Pakistani' to win an international Karate Combat League competition?
There was a huge burden on my shoulders, but thanks to Allah, I fought hard and succeeded in making the name of Pakistan and Balochistan famous." This is said by Shahzeb Rind from Quetta, the capital of Balochistan, who defeated Gabodiaz from Venezuela in the lightweight category in the Karate Combat League in America.
Speaking to BBC on phone, Shahzeb Rind said that his opponents could not stand up to his technique in all three rounds, which led to him dominating them in every round. Shahzeb says that whatever he did to get this position, he did it with your help and neither the government of Pakistan nor the government of Balochistan gave him any help in this regard. However, Balochistan Chief Minister Abdul Qudous Bizenjo has congratulated him on his victory.
Shahzeb said that although it is an
expensive sport, it is his hobby, and he will try his best to fulfill it in the future, even if the government helps him.
Who is Shahzeb Rind?
Shahzeb Rind hails from Quetta, the capital of Balochistan, and holds a BS in International Relations. He is twenty-one years old and started playing Karate Combat at the age of eight. He got all the training for this game in Quetta.
He has been on the Pakistani team for eight years and has also been a national champion six times. Shahzeb Rind said that he has been to Singapore, Vietnam, Azerbaijan, Nepal, and Iran in various international events and has won several medals representing Pakistan there.
He tried to run away from me in the ring three
times.
Shahzeb Rind said that karate combat is a professional game, in which all bets are allowed. You can also do boxing, wrestling, and kicking in it. You can even kill the competitor by knocking him down. Shahzeb Rind said he was up against five-time national kickboxing champion Gabo Diaz of Venezuela, who lives in the United States, in the 68kg lightweight category.
By the grace of Allah, he conceded, "I had the upper hand on him in
each of the three, three-minute rounds of the game and he was trying to run
away from me in the ring." "I noticed scratches on all four of their
shoulders, and compared to mine, their pitches fell flat."
There will be fear in people's hearts that there
are good fighters in Pakistan too.
Shahzeb Rind said that he was very happy to win this competition because 'I was representing Pakistan and there was a huge burden on me in this regard.' He claimed that if he didn't play well, "it doesn't get a good impression and as a result, our upcoming players don't get a chance."
In this game, people do not know Pakistan in America or other countries, that is the reason why I played with courage and courage to make the name of Pakistan and Balochistan famous. "I made a good impression first," he said. Inshallah, the name of Pakistan will be there, and people will fear that Pakistanis are also good fighters.
He said that Karate Combat League is a big competition in America. I am the first Pakistani and Baloch who was representing Pakistan in this league. He says that to participate in this league in America, he has spent 3 million rupees only on the visa, while he has been here for a month and a half, bearing all the expenses himself. He said that this league is shown live all over the world and has millions of followers.
