(Dunya News) – For international martial arts fighter Maaz Khan, facing his opponents in the ring is not as big a challenge as training in a scantily-resourced academy in Karachi.

In international competitions, Khan has faced arch rival India thrice and each time has managed to secure a win.

The young fighter trains in a local academy which lacks basic facilities, something which also affects his training regimen.
