For the first time, a professional women’s boxing match has taken place in Saudi Arabia. In Jeddah on Saturday, Britain’s Ramla Ali defeated her opponent Crystal Nova Price of the Dominican Republic by knockout after a few seconds in the first round. Ali celebrated her seventh victory and remains unbeaten.
The fight took place on the undercard of the world heavyweight championship bout between Britain’s Anthony Joshua and defending champion Alexander Usyk of Ukraine (11.15pm). The Ukrainian had defeated Joshua on points in London last year.
