recent defeat, will be eager to claim the WBO Welterweight World
title. However, Ryan has shown impressive form in her recent
fights and will look to solidify her reign as champion with a
successful defense.

Ryan's relentless aggression and power. It will be a test of
strategy, endurance, and willpower as these two warriors vie for
the WBO Welterweight World title.
The anticipation for this fight is palpable, as boxing
enthusiasts eagerly await to see who will emerge victorious.
