Younas Mehsud, a 17-year-old from the underdeveloped region of Waziristan in Pakistan, has achieved a remarkable feat in the realm of sports.
Specifically, he set a new Guinness World Record by executing an impressive 265 full-extension punches with one arm in just one minute. This accomplishment surpassed the previous record of 214 punches held by an Egyptian athlete.
Younas owes his success to the guidance of the renowned Pakistani martial artist Irfan Mehsood, who himself boasts an impressive collection of over 70 Guinness World Records.
Notably, Younas didn’t stop at one record; he also secured achievements for delivering one-hand punches within a minute while holding a 1kg weight.
With a clear ambition to further his success in martial arts, Younas Mehsud expresses his determination to pursue additional records in the future.
This story not only highlights the individual achievements of a young athlete but also underscores the talent emerging from regions that may face socio-economic challenges.
