KABUL (Pajhwok): Afghan Muay Thai star Qahraman Shaheen, the country’s first athlete to compete in the Rajadamnern World Series (RWS), has triumphed over his Chinese opponent in a thrilling contest in Thailand.

The fight between Shaheen and Wang Yu, his Chinese rival, took place last night in Bangkok. The event, organised by RWS, consisted of three three-minute rounds.
