On the morning of July 28, Vietnam time, The Ring Magazine, the most prestigious magazine about Boxing World posted information that Nguyen Thi Thu Nhi will protect the WBO belt and unify the IBF belt on September 8. Thu Nhi's opponent is Yokasta Vallle, Costa Rica puncher holding the IBF championship belt for the past 3 years.
“I felt excited about the upcoming match, when I had the opportunity to become a unified champion of two professional boxing belts. No matter what happened, I would still win. I want to become a Vietnamese hero and want to win the knock-out,” the Ring Magazine led Thu Nhi's statement next to the notice of the unity of the belt.
Prior to the above information, Thu Nhi said she had never accepted an interview with anyone about the competition with Yokasta Valle. “I hope everyone will not write about me like that,” Thu Nhi shared on social networks on the afternoon of July 28. In fact, Thu Nhi's statement on The Ring Magazine was quoted from the interview with the Golden Boy Promotions.
In fact, The Ring Magazine is the most prestigious magazine specializing in martial arts and boxing in the world. The title of the champion they gave to a martial artist value equivalent to a professional boxing championship. However, The Ring Magazine did not directly interview Thu Nhi but led back from Golden Boy Promotions, a sponsoring company for Yokasta Vallle.
The Ring Magazine's release from the Golden Boy Promotions information without verifying the information can make people misunderstand about the personality of Vietnamese boxers. Especially with the statement “Want to win Vallle right on the land of Costa Rica” although Thu Nhi did not say this, Vietnamese boxers will be commented as a lack of humility, saying no level.
In May 2022, Thu Nhi once revealed that Thuong Dai agreed with Yokasta Valle in June. However, the last match was back to September by the boxer born in 1992 then accepted the challenge with another opponent and won.
