Did you know Pakistan has its first world-level women boxing medalist?
In a historic moment for Pakistani sports, British-Pakistani boxer Laura Akram has won the country first-ever medal in elite women boxing at the World Boxing Challenge in the Czech Republic.
The 39-year-old fighter dominated her quarterfinal match, guaranteeing at least a bronze medal—a groundbreaking achievement for Pakistan female athletes.
How Laura Akram Made History
A Landmark Victory
Akram, competing in the 57kg category, defeated Palestine Noura Salman with a 5-0 unanimous decision. This win secured her a spot in the semifinals, ensuring Pakistan first world-level women boxing medal.
Since Olympic-style boxing awards medals to all semifinalists, Akram is now guaranteed at least bronze, with a chance to upgrade to silver or gold.
Breaking Barriers in Women Boxing
Pakistan has had male boxing medalists before (like Noman Karim in 2003), but Akram is the first woman to achieve this feat. Her success brings hope to young Pakistani girls dreaming of sports careers.
“This is just the beginning. I want to inspire more women to step into the ring.” — Laura Akram
