Cali ayaa ku guulaysatay go'aan kala qaybsan oo ka dhacay Arlington, Texas, waxayna qaadatay suumanka WBO iyo IBF ee miisaanka super-bantamweight.

Ramla Cali ayaa 36 jirkeeda ku guulaysatay horyaalkeedii ugu horreeyay adduunka ka dib markii ay go'aan kala qaybsan kaga adkaatay Mikiah Kreps tartan ka dhacay Arlington, Texas. Cali waxay noqotay horyaalnimada WBO iyo IBF ee miisaanka super-bantamweight.

Go'aanka garsoorayaasha iyo dhacdada wareega saddexaad

Garsoorayaasha ayaa Cali ku siiyay dhibcaha 97-92, 96-93 iyo 98-91. Kreps, oo hore u ahaan jirtay mid aan laga adkaan, ayaa wareega saddexaad dhulka ku dhacday ka dib markii ay la kulantay dharbaaxo bidix oo xoog leh oo ka timid Cali. In kasta oo Kreps ay Cali kaga badisay tirada dharbaaxyada oo ah 115 iyo 78, iyo dharbaaxyada xoogga leh oo ah 91 iyo 70, garsoorayaashu waxay u arkeen Cali inay tahay guuleysata.

Cali oo u hibaysay guusha aabbeheed

Cali waxay guusha u hibaysay aabbeheed, oo dhintay bishii May. Waxay sheegtay in tababaraheeda uu ku yiri qolka beddelka: "When we were in the changing room, my coach said, because my dad passed away in May, 'Do this for him'." Waxay intaa ku dartay: "I can't put into words what this means to me and what this means to all of Somalia."

Waxay kaloo sheegtay: "I remember going to the corner every round and I remember saying 'I'm so tired, I can't do this'. All my coach responded was 'think about your dad, do this for your dad'." Waxay intaa ku dartay: "I've hopefully inspired so many young girls and boys out there to dream big and that's all I've ever wanted to do."

Taariikhda Cali iyo mustaqbalka

Cali waxay ahayd boxerka ugu horreeyay ee Soomaaliyeed ee u matala dalka Ciyaaraha Olombikada Tokyo 2020, waxayna ahayd haweeneyda ugu horreysay ee Muslim ah oo ku guulaysata horyaal Ingiriis ah iyadoo amateur ah. Guushaas ka dib, Cali waxay laga yaabaa inay indhaheeda ku dhigtay tartan midayn ah oo ay la yeelanayso Skye Nicolson, oo difaacday suumanka WBC ee kaararka hoose.

The Somali-born Briton takes the WBO and IBF super-bantamweight belts on a split decision over Mikiah Kreps in Arlington.

Ramla Ali has won her first world title at the age of 36, defeating Mikiah Kreps by split decision in Arlington, Texas, to become the WBO and IBF super-bantamweight champion.

Scorecards and a Third-Round Knockdown

The judges scored the fight 97-92, 96-93 and 98-91 in Ali's favour. Kreps went down in the third round after walking onto a left hook from Ali. Kreps outlanded Ali with 115 punches to 78 and landed 91 power shots to Ali's 70.

A Victory for Her Father and for Somalia

An emotional Ali fell to her knees in tears when the result was confirmed, and she dedicated the win to her late father, who died in May. "When we were in the changing room, my coach said, because my dad passed away in May, 'Do this for him'," she said. "I can't put into words what this means to me and what this means to all of Somalia," she added.

Tired Rounds and a Possible Unification Fight

Ali said each trip to the corner was a mental battle. "I remember going to the corner every round and I remember saying 'I'm so tired, I can't do this'. All my coach responded was 'think about your dad, do this for your dad'," she said. She also said she hoped to have inspired young girls and boys to dream big. With two belts secured, Ali could now set her sights on a unification bout with Skye Nicolson, who retained her WBC belt on the undercard.
