Mehedi Hasan Polok has been relentlessly working to make boxing more prevalent in Bangladesh. When he is not in the ring himself, the professional boxer, who has 4 wins under his belt, is organising combat sports through his own promotion UCSP (Ultimate Combat Sports Promotions). His dream is for boxing to have the same significance in our culture that sports like cricket does.

Boxers Sura Krishna Chakma and Mohammed Al Amin made dream starts in their first-ever professional boxing tournament in Bangladesh as they beat their respective Nepalese opponents on Thursday night.
