LAHORE: Pakistan’s trailblazing female Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) fighter Anita Karim etched her name into history on Tuesday by winning the country’s first professional women’s MMA title.
Competing in the Infinite Championship event, the Hunza Valley native, claimed the 52kg category crown with a stunning first-round knockout of Iranian opponent Parisa Shamshabadi in the final.
Karim’s victory marks a watershed moment for Pakistan’s combat sports, as she continues to break barriers in a discipline traditionally dominated by men. Already known for her impressive performances in international competitions, she has now added a professional title to her growing list of accolades, reinforcing her reputation as a pioneer for women in MMA.
The Infinite Championship has emerged as a vital platform for Pakistan’s emerging fighters, offering them exposure and opportunities to compete at a professional level. Anita’s triumph is expected to inspire a new generation of athletes, particularly young women, to pursue mixed martial arts with confidence and ambition.
