Kenya’s Sarah Achieng retained her WBF world super lightweight title with a unanimous points victory over Tanzania’s Feriche Mashaury in a 10-round fight at the Red Room Lounge, Nairobi on Sunday night, November 2, 2025.
Nicknamed Angel of War, this was Achieng’s first title defence. She outpointed Argentina’s Edith Soledad to become world WBF super lightweight champion in June, 2023 at the Charter Hall, Nairobi.
Achieng improves her record to 18-2-0, 9 KOs while Mashaury drops to 12-9-1 with 3 KOs.
It was Achieng’s 10th consecutive victory since her controversial loss to compatriot Just Waguthii in 2014. She has severally challenged Waguthii for a rematch but the latter remains silent.
Achieng’s coach and manager Alfred Analo aka Priest described her two losses as “theft in the ring because she clearly won.”
The other defeat was in 2008 to Bena Kaloki in Achieng’s pro debut.
“Bena funded the card so she had to win at all costs,” said Analo.
