The undercard of the heavyweight championship fight will host the first women’s professional fight in Saudi Arabia
The fight for the world heavyweight title between Oleksandr Usyk and Anthony Joshua will be special. It will be remembered that the boxers will meet in Saudi Arabia.
And on the undercard of this confrontation, a meeting between Somali Ramla Ali (6-0, 1 KOs) and Dominican Crystal Garcia Nova (10-2, 10 KOs) is planned.
This will be the first female professional boxing match in the history of Saudi Arabia. ESPN reported it.
“It’s huge because it gives hope to so many women. It gives hope to a lot of little girls who look up to us that they know they can achieve anything they want,” said Muslim Ali.
It can be remembered that the rematch between Usyk and Joshua will be held on August 20 in Saudi Arabia. The match will take place at the Super Dome in Jeddah.
In the first fight in September 2021, Usyk defeated Joshua by unanimous decision, winning the championship belt.
