According to the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), COAS appreciated both Amir Khan and Shahzaib Rind for their phenomenal achievements in the field of sports.

COAS also expressed full confidence in Pakistan's youth for their outstanding potential.

It is to be noted here that Shahzaib Rind recently knocked out India's Rana Singh leading Pakistan to a win over the arch-rival in the Karate Combat 45 held in Dubai.

Bollywood star Salman was present during the match when Pakistan defeated India in one of the most anticipated clashes of the contest.

During a pre-fight press conference hosted by Karate Combat with a few fighters in attendance, things got particularly heated between the Indian fighter Rana Singh and Pakistani fighter Shahzaib Rindh. Things soon took a turn for the worse. The Indian fighter had abused Rindh and made some extremely obscene remarks about his mother.

Eventually, the situation reached a tipping point when the two men faced off against each other. Rindh and Singh got physical during the faceoffs and had to be separated by security.

After Pakistan's win over India, the Indian actor and the Pakistani Karate hero had a little chat. Afterwards, Salman joked and said: "Great fight. Do you knock out everywhere in 20, 20 seconds?"

They also shared laughter after which Shahzaib introduced Salman to his brother. Later, they posed for a photo.

Shahzaib Rind later spoke about why a brawl broke out with Indian fighter Rana Singh during a pre-fight press conference hosted by Karate Combat 45 in Dubai.

During a TV show, Shahzaib said he slapped the Indian fighter after he talked inappropriately against Pakistan on social media and then used inappropriate words in the press conference before the fight.

Shahzaib said, "After the press conference, when the Indian fighter abused me and pushed me, then I slapped him to bring him to his senses."
