    Singapore

    SINGAPORE now has its first world champion in boxing after Muhamad Ridhwan stunned Tanzania's Fadhili Majiha with a fourth-round knockout to claim the Universal Boxing Organisation's (UBO) world super-featherweight title last Saturday.

    Some critics may scorn at this universal professional crown for Ridhwan, questioning the validity of that claim because the 29-year-old is a boxer who could not even win a South-east Asian Games gold or even silver medal (he was a bronze medallist thrice).
