Pakistan's No.1 female professional boxer fights for the WIBA World Atomweight title in Pattaya tomorrow, wearing FYYTR gloves and carrying the Dubai brand's Amal campaign into the ring.
When Abida Batool steps into the ring at FCC Stadium in Pattaya on Saturday 31 October, she will be fighting for a world title, and Dubai will be in her corner.
The 26-year-old from Quetta, Pakistan's No.1 ranked female professional boxer and WBC Asia #3, challenges Thailand's Wandee Sinongkhrot for the vacant WIBA World Atomweight Championship on the Brave Hearts card. She will wear gloves supplied by FYYTR, the UAE combat sports brand.
“Abida is a superstar who I myself am very inspired by. Inshallah she gets the job done tomorrow night by becoming the first ever Pakistan world boxing champion, male or female.”
Mudassar Khan, Abida Batool's manager
Backing women's boxing
Abida is one of the faces of FYYTR's Amal Campaign, the brand's commitment to growing women's sport through boxing. FYYTR says women's boxing in the Gulf and South Asia is growing faster than the support available to it, and that it would rather back fighters early than late.
A world title shot for a woman from Pakistan is rare. The country's women's professional scene is still small, which makes Abida's route to a world title harder won than most.
Second shot in Thailand
This is Abida's second title fight in Thailand this year. In January she challenged Wisuta Sririttidet for the WBC Asia atomweight title at World Siam Stadium in Bangkok and lost. She goes into Saturday with a record of 4 wins, 2 losses and 1 draw, and she was the first female fighter ever signed to the PS Fight Series.
Fighting a Thai boxer in Thailand is one of the toughest jobs in the lighter divisions. Atomweight is the lightest weight class in women's professional boxing, with a limit of 102lb (46.3kg), where speed and volume decide fights.
