In July 2025, at the IBSF World 6-Red Snooker Championship in Bahrain, Wales' Riley Powell made history by becoming the youngest-ever World Champion in 6-Red Snooker. He captured the men's six-red title, adding to the silver medal he won in the men’s under-17 competition just a week earlier. Eighteen-year-old Sebastian Milewski from Poland also claimed the men’s under-21 crown. Their victories marked the end of an exciting 12 days of play at Crowne Plaza Bahrain, part of the IBSF World Snooker Championships. Other winners included Pakistani players Muhammad Asif and Muhammad Hasnain. Asif took the title in the masters competition, while 16-year-old Hasnain won gold in the men’s under-17 category. Powell's journey to the six-red world title was thrilling. He came back from two frames down to win 5-4. His performance featured two 35-breaks in the fourth and seventh frames, followed by a decisive 32-break in the final frame to secure the win. His opponent, Advani, played strong, with a 73-break in the third frame and a 35-break in the fourth. In the semi-finals, Powell faced Fung Kwok Wai of Hong Kong. He fought hard for a 5-4 win, with both players scoring 32 breaks. Advani, too, had a tough semi-final against Aditya Mehta but won 5-4, with Mehta’s high break of 68 in the first frame.
