Hayyan is a highly-decorated taekwondo enthusiast and has represented Saudi Arabia in multiple international competitions over the years. She added another gold medal to her collection last October, bagging the top prize in the 49 kg category at the Women’s Taekwondo Competition at the 2024 Saudi Games in Riyadh.
Hayyan will take on Egyptian amateur boxing national champion and fellow newcomer Marwa “Bad Kitty” Abdelmonem in an amateur women’s strawweight showcase bout.
Hayyan said: “The road to the PFL has been carved through sacrifice, pain, and relentless discipline. I have walked through battles most will never see, surviving storms that could have broken me, yet each scar became a mark of strength.
