Pakistani martial artist Irfan Mehsud has secured another place in the Guinness World Records by completing 38 full-extension punches in one minute while carrying a 10-kilogram weight. The challenge required participants to achieve at least 30 punches within the allotted 60 seconds. Mehsud not only met the requirement but exceeded the benchmark by eight repetitions, demonstrating a combination of speed, strength and endurance. The latest feat adds to Mehsud’s growing collection of international records, earned through physically demanding challenges involving punches, push-ups and weighted exercises. Speaking to a private television channel, Mehsud said he has secured around 70 world records in different push-up categories. He has also taken part in challenges involving weights of 100, 80, 60 and 40 pounds. Mehsud said his record-breaking performances have included surpassing marks previously established by athletes from approximately 20 countries, including the United States, India and Germany. With his latest achievement, the Pakistani athlete continues to build an impressive Guinness World Records legacy while bringing greater international recognition to Pakistan’s martial arts and strength-sports community.
