Under new coach Irish John Conlon, the Bahrain National Boxing Team recently took part in joint sparring sessions with several clubs in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, hosted by Samurai Club in Al Khobar.

Over multiple rounds, the team faced Saudi opponents in a competitive environment that tested their skills, boosted confidence, and offered experience against different fighting styles.

The sessions included experienced national boxers Ali Alaradi, Rasheed Mehrinfar, and Mohammed Atiya, along with other rising athletes, giving the team a chance to refine techniques and prepare for upcoming competitions.

The exchange reflected the team’s dedication, as athletes continued rigorous training despite regional challenges and difficult circumstances.

It also strengthened sporting ties between Bahrain and Saudi Arabia and fostered camaraderie among the fighters.

The Bahrain Boxing Federation expressed gratitude to their Saudi hosts for the warm welcome and excellent organization. Samurai Club described the visit as “a remarkable step for technical development and competitive exposure” and welcomed the Bahrain team as “always at home among their brothers.”
