Pakistani media recently reported that Farishta Khani, a female athlete from Afghanistan in the sport of boxing, has become the champion of Pakistan’s national boxing competitions.
Reports indicate that these competitions were recently held in Hyderabad, Sindh province, with the participation of athletes from various provinces of Pakistan.
The national boxing competitions in Pakistan lasted for about a week and featured athletes from over 20 provinces and regions of the country.
Farishta Khani announced her achievement of winning the gold medal in these competitions by posting several photos on her Instagram account.
In her message, she stated that she participated in the 50 kg weight category and successfully defeated all her opponents to secure the gold medal.
This athlete triumphed over three opponents to ultimately claim first place and wear the gold medal for herself and Afghanistan.
Additionally, Farishta Khani was also crowned champion of the mixed martial arts competitions in Pakistan last summer after achieving four consecutive victories.
She competed in the 47.6 kg weight category in those events.
Farishta Khani trains at the Fajr Boxing Academy in Quetta, Pakistan, under the guidance of renowned boxing coach Bismillah Nasir.
It is worth noting that the caretaker government in Afghanistan has banned the participation of women and girls in all sports disciplines. Following this restriction, all women’s sports teams in the country have been dissolved.
