Pakistan’s Mohammad Asif etched his name in the record books by winning the 2024 IBSF World Men’s Snooker Championship, securing his third world title.

Asif is only the second player in history, after India’s Pankaj Advani, to clinch the prestigious title three times.

While speaking to Nukta in an exclusive interview, Asif said that aims to win another world title in the near future.

“I will try to win the title again in the next year or two and break the record. The preparation for the event in the training camp was very good. I used to practice for seven to eight hours every day. All the players worked hard and Allah rewarded us for it. I played a six-century breaks during the event as well,” Asif said.

“PBSA has given us full support and took the initiative to send me on a wild card. Chairman Alamgir Sheikh and President Javed Karim trusted me and I lived up to their expectations by becoming World Champion for the third time,” he added.
