India’s Asha Roka is set to return to action on May 2 at Karate Combat 54 in Dubai, where she will face Li Lishan of China in a highly anticipated showdown. Representing 🇮🇳 on the global stage, Roka aims to build on the momentum of her successful Karate Combat debut, where she secured a stoppage win over Milena Calazans at KC: Kickback 3 in Thailand.
