Oshoba eyes Commonwealth title in UK

By Daily Sports Nigeria on October 20, 2023

Elizabeth Oshoba, 2022 Commonwealth Games Silver medalist is set to battle British boxer Amy Andrew (4-0-0-0KOs) on Novemner 25 at the Meca Regent Circus in Swindon in Wiltshire, United Kingdom for the vacant Commonwealth Boxing Council Women’s featherweight title.

Nigerian-born Oshoba (5-0-0-3KOs) most recently defeated Italian Nadia Flalhi (5-3-0-1KOs) on points in a six-round featherweight clash on September 30.

She is now headed to her first professional title fight in November just one year after she left the amateurs following great success at the Commonwealth Games in Birmingham, UK.

The 23-year-old is confident of claiming the title against the unbeaten Briton even though she will be in hostile territory.

“I don’t care that she is British. I felt very good when I heard news that the fight had been arranged because this is what I have been looking forward to and I am ready to give it my all because it’s time for the world to know Elizabeth Oshoba,” she told The PUNCH.

“I am confident that I am going to win the title in November, I have been training hard for it and I know with the dedication I have put in the sport, I can win it. The only thing I can’t say for sure is it will be a KO win but anybody they bring to face me, I will win.”

In March, Oshoba defeated Kirsty Hill by points 58-56 to qualify for the final round of the eliminator bouts which will make this her third fight in ten months. She is however not concerned by the schedule of her fights.

“I am not worried that it is so close to my last fight. Yes, I fought last month and some may think the fight is too soon but I am happy to get this chance and I believe I will win,” she told PUNCH Sports Extra.

She is now eager to maintain her record and make her fans proud, “I am looking forward to the fight for the title and I want to keep winning and improve my record to get the title and make everyone proud.”

Oshoba fights under Prosperity Sports Managements in the United Kingdom.
