Elizabeth Oshoba is indeed a trailblazer! She’s Nigeria’s first female boxing world champion, winning the WBC silver featherweight title in 2024 by defeating Italy’s Michela Braga. This historic win has made her a national hero and an inspiration to young athletes, especially females in Nigeria and across Africa.
Oshoba’s journey is a testament to her resilience, skill, and determination. She started boxing at a young age, won a silver medal at the 2022 Commonwealth Games, and transitioned to professional boxing, where she racked up an impressive 9-0 record with 5 knockouts.
