Karate Champion Shahzaib Rindh Receives Rs100 Million Cheque from President Zardari

President Asif Ali Zardari presented a Rs100 million cheque to Shahzaib Rindh, Pakistan’s first-ever Karate world champion, for his historic victory at the Karate Combat Championship (KC-49) held in Singapore.

 

The 26-year-old fighter from Balochistan achieved global recognition last month after defeating Brazil’s Bruno Roberto De Assis in the final, marking a major milestone in Pakistan's sports history. Karate Combat, the organization behind the event, describes itself as the "world’s premier full-contact striking league," and Rindh’s achievement has put Pakistan on the map in this prestigious competition.

 

Commenting on his victory, Rindh expressed his excitement, calling it a "dream come true" in a post on X (formerly Twitter), where he shared a photo with the championship belt. His triumph sparked national pride, and upon his return, he was warmly welcomed by Balochistan Chief Minister Sarfraz Bugti, provincial officials, and an enthusiastic crowd at Quetta airport.

 

During the ceremony at Aiwan-e-Sadr, President Zardari praised Rindh for his outstanding achievement, stating that his success has elevated Pakistan's name on the global stage. The president also emphasized the importance of supporting and encouraging young athletes in Pakistan.

 

“There is immense talent among the youth of Pakistan, and it is essential to provide them with opportunities to excel,” Zardari remarked, expressing hope that Rindh will continue to make Pakistan proud in future competitions.

 

Balochistan Chief Minister Sarfraz Bugti, who was also present at the event, commended Rindh's dedication and commitment to the sport, stating that this victory is not just for Rindh but for the entire country.

 

Shahzaib Rindh’s journey from a passionate fighter in Balochistan to a world champion on the global stage is an inspiring story of perseverance, talent, and determination. His success underscores the growing potential of Pakistan's athletes in international sports, and his win will undoubtedly inspire a new generation of martial artists.
