Legendary boxer Mike Tyson has arrived in Benghazi, eastern Libya, to attend a boxing match featuring Libyan champion Saad Al-Falah and Ivorian contender Adam Akoon, competing for the WBC boxing championship belt.

The match is scheduled to take place on March 1 at the Suleiman Al-Darrat Sports Complex Stadium in Benghazi.

Al-Falah, known as the “African Champion,” secured victory over his Georgian opponent Georgi Kandelaki in a bout held in Paris, France, sanctioned by the World Boxing Council (WBC).

Notably, the late American legend Muhammad Ali visited Libya in 1974, participating in exhibition matches with Libyan boxing stars in Tripoli and Benghazi.

Boxing was banned in the late 1970s during the era of the late leader Muammar Gaddafi, who considered it a “brutal” sport. Competitive boxing remained dormant in Libya for over three decades until its reintroduction to the International Boxing Federation in 2016.
