Nhi, 24, will fight Japanese boxer Tada Etsuko on Oct. 23.
After winning the Asia-Oceania WBO belt in February last year, Nhi planned to compete for the world title with Japan’s Ayaka Miyao in June. However, due to Covid-19, the event was postponed.

In late 2020, Etsuko defeated Miyao to claim the world WBO belt. Nhi was supposed to fight Etsuko in April but the Covid-19 pandemic continued and the match was moved to October.
Etsuko, 32, is a four-time world champion. In her career, Etsuko fought 26 matches with 20 wins, three draws and three losses. Nhi has only competed in four professional matches so far, winning all.
To prepare for this important title fight, Nhi went to Uzbekistan to train and boost her form, determined to achieve the goal she has been chasing this past year.
