Mogadishu(SONNA):Somalia’s first boxer to compete at an Olympic Games and UNICEF Ambassador, Ramla Ali will participate in the first professional female boxing match in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia on Saturday
Ramla will be facing Crystal Garcia Nova from the Dominican Republic. This fight will also appear on the undercard to the Oleksandr Usyk against Anthony Joshua fight.
“It’s a huge honour, We’ll be the first women to have competed here professionally in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.”
