Elizabeth Oshoba, the WBC silver featherweight champion, is emerging as a special talent for Nigeria in the world of boxing. At just 24 years old, Oshoba has an impressive undefeated record of 7-0, with 4 knockouts. Her latest triumph occurred on January 13, when she secured the WBC silver title with a 10th-round TKO victory over Italy’s Michela Braga at Royal Arena in Copenhagen, Denmark.

Over the past few years, Oshoba has predominantly fought in Europe, solidifying her reputation as one of the best female boxers from Africa. Before her recent victory against Braga, she competed in her last four fights in the UK, including a notable decision win over Italy’s Martina Righi in Swindon, England, in November 2023.

Oshoba’s success in the professional circuit is not surprising, given her background as an accomplished amateur. She clinched a silver medal in the featherweight division at the 2022 Commonwealth Games. Now, with an undefeated record and the WBC silver title in her possession, Oshoba is on the brink of a world title shot, positioning herself to be recognized among the greatest female boxers ever to emerge from Africa.
