Professional boxing returns to Peshawar this August with a main event that carries real consequences. On 22 August 2026, Hassan Manzoor and Abdul Rahman will headline Peshawar Fight Night in a 10-round Super Bantamweight main event, and this time, there's no belt on the line. There doesn't need to be one.
The winner walks away as Pakistan's #1-ranked Super Bantamweight, and that alone makes this one of the most significant domestic matchups of the year.
The Fight for Pakistan's #1
Two fighters. Two different weight classes on paper. One shared goal.
Manzoor currently competes at Bantamweight, where he sits at Pakistan #2 and World #194 of 1,215 ranked fighters. Rahman fights out of the Featherweight, where he holds the Pakistan #1 ranking and sits at World #466 of 1,743. Neither man currently owns a ranking at Super Bantamweight, which is exactly what makes this fight matter. When they step into the ring at that weight, the winner won't just take a victory. He'll establish himself as the new benchmark at 122 pounds in Pakistan.
There's no vacant title, no sanctioning body handing out hardware. Just two records, two reputations, and one night to settle who's better.
The Main Event
ABDUL RAHMAN 🇵🇰 Record: 4–3–1 (2 KOs) Weight Class: Featherweight World Ranking: #466 / 1,743 Pakistan Ranking: #1 / 28
VS
HASSAN MANZOOR 🇵🇰 Record: 6–1–0 Weight Class: Bantamweight World Ranking: #194 / 1,215 Pakistan Ranking: #2 / 12
Manzoor enters with the better overall record and the higher world ranking, but Rahman brings the pedigree of a #1-ranked fighter in his own division and the experience of three professional losses that have clearly sharpened rather than slowed him down. Styles, records, and rankings on paper are one thing, but Super Bantamweight is new territory for both men, and that's what levels the field on fight night.
Undercard: A Full Night of Professional Boxing
The main event isn't the only reason to show up. Peshawar Fight Night features a stacked professional card from top to bottom:
Fida Muhammad vs Rameez Khan Co-Main Event — Super Featherweight
Under Card
Abida Batool vs Rida Fatima — Atom Weight
Fajar Fatima vs Sania Imtiaz — Minimum Weight
Muhammad Ali vs Allah Dittah — Lightweight
Raz Muhammad vs Awais Khan — Bantamweight
The co-main event between Fida Muhammad and Rameez Khan at Super Featherweight is expected to set the tone early, while the women's bouts on the card, Abida Batool vs Rida Fatima and Fajar Fatima vs Sania Imtiaz continue to grow the profile of women's professional boxing in Pakistan.
