shot in the arm

Politicians hope this new infrastructure will be a shot in the arm for sectors like mining and tourism.

"This is a much-needed and big shot in the arm for women's boxing as it joins the Riyadh Season train which is moving to a greater destination for boxing," promoter Eddie Hearn tells BBC Sport.

It’s hilarious and strange and menacing in just the right way — and a shot in the arm for a somewhat laggard comic-book movie.

Hearn said the bout was the "shot in the arm" needed for British boxing.

"That shot in the arm was provided in the most unexpected way via Riyadh Season," Hearn said.
