Grace, Grit, and Growth: Yasmin Ahmed Battles Hard in Crawley Showdown
On fight night, Yasmin “Cleanheart” Ahmed once again stepped into the ring with courage, composure, and class — this time facing home fighter Jodie Cherubini from the well-respected Lumpini Crawley, a seasoned competitor in her twenties.
It was a compelling matchup, with both athletes bringing unique styles to the ring. For Yasmin, this was another chance to test herself against older, more experienced opponents — and she did so with heart and honour.
💥 Strategic Striking and Warrior Composure
From the first bell, Yasmin implemented her usual sharp, technical Muay Thai, utilising strong punches, accurate knees, teeps, head kicks, and well-timed counter strikes. Her footwork was intelligent, and her rhythm stayed calm under pressure.
Her opponent Jodie, fighting on home ground, spent much of the bout on the back foot, relying on rib kicks to score from distance. While the exchanges were competitive, it was a tightly contested fight, where ring control and scoring efficiency were key.
When the final bell rang, the judges awarded the Unanimous Decision to Jodie.
🏆 A Champion’s Character, Even in Defeat
The result may not have gone our way, but the character shown by Yasmin “Cleanheart” was nothing short of inspiring. Despite the decision, Yasmin held her head high, showing grace and sportsmanship in front of a hometown crowd.
These are the moments that define a fighter’s journey — and Yasmin once again proved why she is one of the brightest young stars in the sport. Every challenge, win or lose, adds to the warrior she’s becoming.
We move forward. We grow. We rise — the SN way.
