Muhammad Waseem Returns Home for Title Fight in Quetta Against Venezuela’s Wiston Orono PhilBoxing.com Mon, 14 Apr 2025  Quetta, Pakistan – The wait is finally over. Pakistan’s pride, Muhammad Waseem, is bringing world-class boxing to his hometown of Quetta for the very first time. On May 10, Waseem will face Venezuela’s Wiston Orono in a 10-round showdown for the WBA World Gold Bantamweight Title, a bout that promises fireworks, legacy, and the roar of a home crowd behind the nation’s most decorated boxer. The historic fight will take place at the Quetta Polo & Saddle Club, promoted by Falcon Sporting Promotions, setting the stage for an unforgettable night of action. ‘The Falcon’, Waseem (13-2, 9 KOs) has flown high throughout his career, representing Pakistan on some of the biggest stages in boxing. Previously fought for the IBF World Flyweight Title — not once, but twice — going toe-to-toe with elite competition and earning respect across the boxing world for his slick style and precision punching. Most recently, Waseem reignited his title chase with a third-round knockout win in Malta over Georgia’s Jaba Memishishi — a performance that reminded fans and critics alike that the Quetta-born southpaw is far from done. With a title in sight and a sold-out crowd expected in Quetta, Waseem’s mission is clear: win on home soil, and inspire a new generation of Pakistani fighters. “Fighting at home is something I’ve always dreamed of,” Waseem said in a recent interview. “This fight isn’t just for me — it’s for Quetta, for Pakistan, and for everyone who’s supported me since day one.” Standing in his way is Wiston Orono of Venezuela, an experienced operator with a reputation for toughness. Orono has battled through Latin America’s boxing circuits and comes into the fight with momentum, fresh off a strong domestic campaign back home. While Orono may not have the same international profile, he’s hungry — and dangerous. But this moment belongs to Waseem. From his stellar amateur career, to rising to world title contention, the 37-year-old has carried the flag with honour. Now, under the lights in Quetta, with the WBA Gold Belt on the line, Muhammad Waseem looks to deliver the performance of a lifetime in front of the people who made him. Don’t miss it: May 10 at the Quetta Polo & Saddle Club.  |
