Waseem turned professional after an amateur career and established himself as one of the most prominent Pakistani boxers of his generation, competing primarily in the flyweight category. His ring style, marked by speed and agility, earned him the moniker "Falcon".
Waseem made his first attempt at the IBF flyweight world title in 2018. He returned to challenge for the same belt a second time in 2022. Both bouts placed him among the small group of Pakistani boxers to have contested for a recognised world championship in the modern professional era.
Waseem's career has drawn attention to professional boxing in Pakistan, a country where the sport has historically had limited international visibility at the elite level. His repeated world-title challenges in the flyweight division have contributed to wider interest in the sport domestically.
