As the countdown to Royal Rumble III reaches its final hours, Bahrain’s own Ali Alaradi is gearing up for one of the most important nights of his boxing career. Tomorrow night, Alaradi will enter the ring at the prestigious charity event, and the stakes have never been higher. With the eyes of the nation — and boxing royalty — upon him, Alaradi is ready to show what it means to represent his homeland and his team, the Royal Guard of Bahrain.

The Responsibility of Representation

In an exclusive interview with TDT, Alaradi reflected on the honor and responsibility of being a fighter for Bahrain as he prepares for what promises to be an unforgettable night of boxing tomorrow. “I am a believer that every human being is deeply connected to the land he is born and raised in,” Alaradi says. “Bahrain is that land for me. With Allah’s blessing, we are blessed with goods and virtues unlike any other nation. It’s not only an honor to represent the Royal Guard of Bahrain, but it’s a duty I carry with pride.”

Alaradi’s dedication extends beyond his own personal glory. The event, which brings together boxers from Bahrain’s Royal Guard and the British Army’s Royal Engineers, serves a larger purpose — charity. “This special event will invest in the welfare of our community and Bahrain, raising money for charity and fostering stronger ties between Bahrain and the UK. I’m proud to be part of something that transcends the sport itself,” he adds.

Teamwork and Inspiration

Alaradi draws inspiration from the Royal Guard’s recent success against the British Army during the International Boxing Night in the UK, where Bahrain’s fighters were successful in six of eight bouts. The victory has given him confidence and a renewed sense of belief in both his team and his training.

“At the end of the day, iron sharpens iron,” Alaradi explains. “When I saw my teammates securing this great victory for Bahrain, I was filled with inspiration. It reassured me that I am surrounded by a great team and a solid training plan. With that, combined with faith in Allah’s plan, I am in a better mental position to face my opponent tomorrow.”

The Pressure

If the challenge of representing Bahrain at a prestigious charity event wasn’t enough, Alaradi is set to fight in front of one of boxing’s greatest figures, Amir “King” Khan. The thought of competing before Khan, who will be attending the Royal Rumble III as a special guest tomorrow, adds a layer of excitement — and pressure.

“Fighting in front of Amir Khan for the first time is something I never thought could be possible,” says Alaradi. “Having a boxing icon watching me and supporting me in my fight is special. I have so much respect for Amir as a boxer and as a person. He’s known for never dodging any contender in his successful career and for his humanitarian efforts. I aspire to follow in his footsteps as a professional boxer in the future, God willing.”

A Night to Remember

As the countdown to Royal Rumble III continues, Alaradi is ready to prove that he’s more than just a fighter — he’s a representative of Bahrain’s commitment to both sport and charity. With his eyes set on victory, he stands as a beacon for future Bahraini boxing champions. Tomorrow night, the Royal Guard’s finest will step into the ring, with Alaradi leading the charge.
