The Fight Card of the Century in Riyadh features a rematch between Artur Beterbiev and Dmitry Bivol, along with several notable men's bouts. Nevertheless, notable voices in women's boxing, like Raven Chapman, express disappointment over the absence of female fights at such a major event, highlighting that the growth of women's boxing seems to be stagnating. Chapman's previous experience as one of the few women to box professionally in Saudi Arabia underlines the need for more opportunities for female fighters, particularly on high-profile cards.
It would be a shame for that bubble to burst, says Raven Chapman. The growth of women's boxing has slowed down, possibly due to more control over the fight schedule from the Saudis.
It's disappointing that there haven't been other women on these Saudi cards, especially on what is supposed to be the biggest card of all time.
