Doha: Combat sport fans in Qatar are in for a treat once again, courtesy of Qatar Boxing and Wrestling Federation (QBWF), when the Venum Fight 3 unfolds as part of the 8th Katara Boxing Championship at the Katara Amphitheater tomorrow.

The premier combat sports showcase, bringing together elite Muay Thai, professional boxing and MMA fighters for a night of high-level action, will feature four premium bouts for the coveted WBC belts, as well as two MMA bouts.

QBWF President Sheikh Fahad bin Khalid Al Thani unveiled the details of Venum Fight 3 during a press conference yesterday, which was also attended by the Federation’s Boxing Department Head, officials, fighters and their team members.

Sheikh Fahad confirmed that the Katara Boxing Championship is staged over three days, with the first two days reserved for local boxing competitions, and the Venum fight night taking centre stage on the final day.

Venum 3 will be headlined by the WBC Cruiserweight Muay Thai World Title bout between Russia’s Ali Aliev and American Chip Moraza-Pollard, the main fight of the evening. The co-main attractions include Iran’s Sajad Sattari taking on Thailand’s Kaonar for the WBC Welterweight Muay Thai Diamond Title, alongside two WBC Asia Boxing Title contests. Algeria’s Idriss Labidi will face Indonesia’s Rivo Rengkung, while Filipino boxer Jadalie Medeiros meets Iran’s Shirin Shabani in a landmark bout featuring professional female fighters at Katara.
