Afridi unleashed a relentless barrage of punches from the outset, putting his Indian opponent on the back foot. By the third round, Singh was visibly shaken and struggling to stay on his feet under the pressure of Afridi’s aggressive combinations.
As the fourth round began, the referee stepped in shortly after noting Bawa’s inability to defend himself effectively, awarding the bout to Afridi by TKO.
