Rahim Pardesi stepped into the ring on August 30 at Misfits Boxing Masters 22 and secured a fourth-round victory over Amadeusz Ferrari. But what had fans talking wasn’t just the win, it was the moment Rahim chose not to land a final punch when his opponent was already falling.

 

Fans quickly began asking why, and Rahim addressed the question in a video. “Everyone’s asking me the same question, why didn’t I throw the last punch when my opponent was falling down. Although there were things said by him that crossed the line, I thought if I dig that last punch, then there’s no difference between me and him. And that’s not how true champions behave,” he explained.

Rahim continued, “As a Scottish Pakistani, we are warriors but at the same time, we have a heart of gold. You may hear negativity about Pakistanis in the media, but let me tell you, Pakistanis are humble, loving, peaceful people. Whatever happens in the ring will stay in the ring.” He thanked Misfits’ team, KSI, his sponsors, and his boxing coaches Cham and Adam from Mosley Boxing before promising fans he’ll be back with another “bang.”

 

The reaction online was overwhelming. Singer Bilal Saeed praised him, writing, “Perdesi, a man with many talents 🥂✌🏻👊🏼.” 

 

Another user commented, “True sportsmanship indeed🔥❤.” One fan cheered, “Our CHAMP 👑🔥🔥🔥,” while another wrote, “That’s what boxing is about, go to war and love and respect after. Well done on an amazing win on the big stage @rahimpardesi ❤🙌.” Messages of pride poured in, with one fan saying, “Thanks to you for making our country proud in the international boxing competition, may God bless you❤,” while another added, “More power to you my brother ❤🔥.”
