about

Ali is trained by legendary boxing coach Manny Robles in Los Angeles, California.

Ali’s family fled war-torn Somalia as refugees after her brother had been killed. Settling in London, she initially kept her boxing training a secret for fear her family would disapprove the pastime for a Muslim girl.

As an amateur boxer Ali became the first Muslim boxer to win an English Title before deciding to represent Somalia in 2017 and subsequently making history by becoming the first male or female to have represented the country at an Olympic Games.

She joined the Matchroom stable in the hope of creating more history by becoming Somalia's first ever World Champion. The 33-year-old has moved to 8-0 since turning professional in October 2020, most recently beating Australia's Avril Mathie to secure a first Title as a professional.

Ali defeated the previously unbeaten Mathie on points to land the IBF Intercontinental Super-Bantamweight Title on the undercard of Amanda Serrano-Erika Cruz in New York in February 2023.
