Ali Raymi

Ali Raymi, born on December seventh, nineteen seventy-three, was a remarkable figure in both the boxing ring and the military. As a Yemeni professional boxer, he achieved an extraordinary record of twenty-six wins without a single loss, with all victories coming by way of knockout. Notably, twenty-three of these knockouts occurred in the first round, showcasing his explosive power and skill.

In July of two thousand fourteen, Raymi made headlines by setting a world record for winning his first twenty-one professional fights through first-round knockouts. His prowess in the ring earned him prestigious titles, including the International Boxing Institute minimumweight title after defeating Prince Maz, and the Universal Boxing Organization World Junior Flyweight title in the same year.

Before the onset of the Gulf War in nineteen ninety-one, Raymi resided in Mecca, Saudi Arabia. Tragically, his life was cut short on May twenty-third, two thousand fifteen, when he was killed in action during the Saudi Arabian-led intervention in the Yemeni Civil War. Reports suggest he may have fallen victim to an explosion linked to a Qatari airstrike targeting Yemeni Republican Guard positions.

At the time of his untimely death, Raymi was ranked sixth by the World Boxing Association at one hundred eight pounds and eighth by the World Boxing Organization at one hundred five pounds, solidifying his status as a formidable competitor in the boxing world.
