Saudi: Ramla Ali wins female first boxing fight in the Kingdom
The British-Somali Ramla Ali made history in Saudi Arabia on Saturday, winning the first international female boxing match in the Kingdom.
Ramla defeated her Dominion opponent Crystal Garcia Nova on Saturday here.
The 32-year-old Ramla whose weight is 55.6kg defeated Nova 55.7kg, in the first-round KO in a very “short match” which did not even last for more than one minute.
Earlier, Ramla said that Saudi Arabia is becoming a very progressive country that pouches more women into sports.
Ramla has also done a supportive initiative in Jeddah, as she conducted a sparring match between her and about 40 Saudi boxers to speed the game in the Saudi women community.
