Pakistan’s Rashid Naseem on Wednesday added another feather to his cap, becoming the first Pakistani to register 150 Guinness World Records (GWR).
According to (GWR) website, the athlete has achieved the feat by breaking England’s Josh Leaya’s record for punching while holding a 1-kg weight.
The Karachi-born athlete surpassed the record with 340 punches with full extension on target in a minute’s time.
Besides this, Rashid has also made two more Guinness World Records.
