Ramla Ali, a 36-year-old Briton, finally realized her dream of becoming a world champion by defeating Mikiah Kreps in a split-decision victory in Arlington, Texas. Ali, who fled war-torn Somalia as a child and became an Olympian, activist, author, and now a world champion, wept tears of joy after securing her WBO and IBF super-bantamweight title.
Her biopic about her remarkable life was released just days before this triumph. The victory, which came after a two-year struggle following a loss to Yamileth Mercado, was dedicated to her late father. Ali's emotional reaction was fueled by a message from her coach, who encouraged her to honor her father.
