LOCAL FIGHTER REACHES NEW LEVELS FOR UAE

Saudi Arabia’s Zuhayr Al Qahtani will also take to the ring following his WBSS win in Jeddah in September 2018. Before becoming Saudi Arabia’s first ever professional boxer, Al Qahtani’s ambitious amateur career saw him win 50 of his 55 fights.

David Oliver Joyce and Stephen Tiffney will clash for the WBO European Featherweight Title for the second title up for grabs on The Fight DXB Uncovered show in Dubai that also includes Olympic gold medalist Shakhobidin Zoirov.

The event, which takes place on April 5 at Emirates Golf Club and is presented by Ahmed A. Seddiqi’s Round 10 Boxing Club in association with MTK Global, will be broadcast live on both ESPN and iFL TV.

Ireland’s undefeated Joyce (9-0-KO7) – an Olympian himself – is hoping to secure his first major title as a professional but standing in his way is popular Scot Tiffney (10-1-KO4), who has recovered from his sole career defeat with impressive back-to-back wins.

Also on the card, 2016 Olympic Gold Medalist and flyweight champion Zoirov makes his eagerly awaited professional debut having signed up as an MTK Global fighter last year alongside another elite Uzbeki amateur talent in Hurshid Tojibaev.

One man to have raced to prominence early in his time in the paid ranks is Kazakhstan’s Sultan Zaurbek (5-0-KO3), who faces China’s Yuancai Zhu – and there are other attractive international match-ups throughout a ground-breaking card.

Australia’s heavy-hitting youngster Mateo Tapia (9-0-KO5) is widely tipped for the world stage and takes on a graduation fight against India’s Gaganpreet Sharma (8-1-KO4), while London-based Saudi Arabian Zuhayr Al-Qahtani (5-0) continues his rise against another Indian in SK Saheb.

Earlier on in the evening, the Philippines’ Larry Abarra, Afghanistan’s Hasibullah Ahmadi, Armenia’s Anahit Aroyan will all jostle for the limelight on this truly global event.
