Waseem’s promoter Andy Kim is now headed to the December WBC convention in South Florida with world title fight aspirations for Waseem. “Waseem showed what he was made of today. He fought a quality young undefeated world ranked fighter in Megramo, who pushed him to the max. Waseem successfully stood up to the challenge and I feel he showed he’s ready for the world championship level,” said Kim.
