KARACHI: Pakistan’s martial arts grandmaster Ashraf Tai has admitted that he fixed a fight back in 1983 for US$500,000.
Tai admitted that he had taken money to lose to German opponent Howard Jackson. According to Tai, he received $500,000 from losing the fight. “I was told to be a baby which means to lose the fight.
