My Take

Catherine Phiri is the most compelling of this group to me. A boxer from Lusaka, Zambia, she held the WBC female bantamweight title from 2016 to 2017 and challenged twice for the super-bantamweight crown. To climb from African women's boxing, a corner of the sport that gets almost no spotlight, all the way to a world title takes a fierceness I find deeply admirable. Her repeated title challenges suggest someone who refuses to stay down. She is more than an athlete; she is a source of pride for Zambian women, and that legacy outside the ring impresses me even more than her belts.

Overview

Catherine Phiri is a Zambian professional boxer. She held the WBC female bantamweight title from 2016 to 2017 and challenged twice for the WBC female super-bantamweight title in 2017 and 2019.
