Elizabeth Oshoba has cemented her place in history as Nigeria’s first-ever female boxing world champion, marking a groundbreaking moment for the country in professional boxing.

As of early 2026, Oshoba boasts an unblemished professional record of 9-0, with five of those victories coming by knockout. 

Her dominance in the ring has earned her multiple titles, including the IBO Super Featherweight world title under the International Boxing Organization (IBO) and the WBC Silver Featherweight title sanctioned by the World Boxing Council (WBC).

Her rapid rise has also seen her climb to number four in the global super lightweight rankings, according to 2026 rankings data, further solidifying her status as one of the sport’s brightest prospects.

In another major career milestone, Oshoba is set to make her debut under Most Valuable Promotions (MVP), founded by Jake Paul. She is scheduled to fight British boxer Chelsey Arnell on April 5, 2026, at the iconic Olympia London.

From training in local Nigerian gyms to becoming a world champion on the global stage, Oshoba’s journey represents a major breakthrough for women’s boxing in Nigeria and serves as a powerful source of inspiration for aspiring female athletes across Africa.
