One day before the match against Costa Rica boxer, Yokasta Valle, World World Champion Nguyen Thi Thu Nhi has performed a mandatory weight test. After reaching enough weight, Vietnamese boxers had the opportunity to face and face Vallle.
Compared to Vallle, Thu Nhi is not high but may be darker. That helps Vietnamese martial artists are more likely to explode when they are exposed to close attacks. Earlier, she defeated a taller fighter, Etsuko Tada (Japan) to win the World Wbo World.
At the previous press conference, Thu Nhi also acknowledged that Vallle was more appreciated for her bodybuilding, arms and competition experience, and had the advantage of playing in her hometown Costa Rica. However, the representative of Vietnam is very confident to prove itself in this confrontation.
The match between Thu Nhi and Yokasta Vallle will decide to unify the two Boxing belts of IBF, WBO in the Women's Minimum weight class. Thu Nhi won the World Wbo Belt in October 2021 after defeating Tada, and Vallle had 6 successful belt protection. She is considered as one of the strongest female fighters in the Minimum class.
The match between Thu Nhi and Vallle is scheduled to start at 22:00 on the night of 8/9 according to Costa Rica time, ie 11pm on September 9 in Vietnam. The opening matches began at 19h on 8/9, ie 8 am on September 9 in Vietnam.
