The first all-female card at MSG ended with a quiet finale to a great trilogy. But its legacy is loud: a reckoning with risk, glory, and the radical idea that women can choose both

There are two salient pictures of the Katie Taylor–Amanda Serrano trilogy: Taylor walking to the ring on Friday night under the green, orange and white bars of light, her neck like a tree trunk, eyes fixed ahead with stoic grandeur as Even Though I Walk played overhead – and the image, hours earlier, of Yulihan Luna bloodied and bruised, standing beside a ring girl whose hoisted breasts had been shellacked in oil, smiling rigidly at a camera that wasn’t looking at the fighter.

That’s boxing. That’s also being a woman.

At Madison Square Garden – half cathedral, half Thunderdome – Katie Taylor approached the ring like a martyr. Her arms stayed low and still, her expression stony, the moment at once subdued and transcendent. I am not religious. I was personally rooting for Serrano. But when I heard that worship music and saw Taylor ascend and bow between the ropes, I seemed to see stars as tears blurred the lights of the Garden’s lofted ceiling into a constellation: The Fighter.

A spectacle like this ought to be mawkish. But it isn’t. Because when the song ends, two women risk their legacies, their health, their lives – however unlikely – to feel something like greatness. And unlike most sports, in boxing, the risk is not metaphorical. The danger is useless. It protects no country. No one is conscripted. But it underwrites everything that feels noble about this violent, anachronistic art. And when women, historically deemed too fragile to fight, headline an iconic arena that has never before granted them that right, the danger takes on a new meaning.

They say styles make fights. They also make stories. Taylor, the pride of Ireland, is all monkish discipline and point-winning speed. Serrano, the southpaw from Puerto Rico by way of Brooklyn, combines firepower with grit. One boxed her way through 15 years of amateur pedigree, the other turned pro at 19 and never looked back. Both are in their mid-30s, both single, both quiet. Sainted recluses with 17 world titles between them and a lifetime of sacrifice.

If Taylor is the tactician, Serrano is the flamethrower. This polarization is what produced lightning in the first two fights. But by Friday night, their plans of attack had changed. Serrano, seeking alternatives after two contentious decisions that didn’t go her way, tried to outbox the boxer. Taylor, burned before in brawls, circled and struck, then slipped away. From round one, it was clear: this was no longer a firestorm. The fight bore more resemblance to Mayweather-Pacquiao than Ali-Frazier I. Smart. Tactical. Controlled. For some, disappointing.

But why do we need chaos to believe in a woman’s greatness?

In other sports, I root for my team to win, ugly or not. But in women’s boxing, I confess to a double standard: I want glory and a good show. I want drama, blood, something irrefutable. That fear – that if women don’t entertain, the sport will vanish – lingers like smoke above the ring. But Taylor and Serrano were not performing for our approval. They were fighting to win.

This, in itself, is progress.

True equality in boxing is not the right to inspire. It’s the right to be boring. To clinch and move. To fight safe. To win ugly. Taylor-Serrano III wasn’t transcendent because it was thrilling. It was transcendent because it didn’t have to be.

And yet boxing remains a sport of contradictions. To protect yourself, you must risk everything. To gain glory, you court death. And still – some would deny women the choice to do so.

When Amanda Serrano and more than a dozen elite fighters issued a joint call last year for 12 three-minute rounds – the same as men – they framed it not as a demand, but as a right: “We have earned the CHOICE,” they said.

The irony is that boxing is one of the only spaces in Western society where a woman can risk her life and be compensated. But even then, OnlyFans logos hover over ring posts and girls in bikinis parade cards while bloodied fighters wait for judgment. Fans call the athletes they flew across oceans to support “autistic lesbians”. Serrano gets seven figures. Some women on the undercard get $1,500 and no health insurance – turning, more ironic still, to OnlyFans for financial security.

What do we mean when we talk about choice?

We fight for a woman’s right to have a child – or not. But what about the right to bleed for nothing more than self-belief? What about the right to hurt for glory, not survival? Women are told their bodies are sacred, but only in service of others – children, husbands, God. In boxing, they reclaim them. Not for nurture, but for risk. Not for life, but for something more defiant. Not Madonna. Not whore. Something else.

Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano did not ask for sainthood. They asked for a trilogy. They made history, then made it again, then closed the book.

Now, whether Friday night becomes a watershed or a footnote is not up to them.

But for those of us watching, feeling the hush before the bell, the flutter of green, orange, red and blue fabric, the rush when Taylor’s glove was raised and an Irish flag drifted gently down from the upper seats – whether Catholic or atheist, Irish or Puerto Rican, man, woman, or something in between – these two ensured one thing:

Watching them time after time after finally time again will do something more than impress you.

It will resolve contradictions – between styles, between images of a fight, between even life and death – into a single indelible reckoning.

Morris “Hercules” Okolla (13-4-0, 10 KOs) is convinced his Czech Republic opponent, Lukas Fajk (10-1-0), will not last the full course in tonight’s fight in Prague.

“I will knock him out in the third round, I looked at him during the face-off he’s so scared of me,” Okolla told boxersworld.co.ke from their five-star hotel ahead of his heavyweight duel against the Czech Republic boxer.

Okolla last fought in September last year outpointing Louis Cedric of Mauritius in a six rounder.

“We’ve been welcomed well, the atmosphere is fantastic,” said the southpaw Okolla, a former international boxer who won gold in the 2005 Zone Five Championships in Nairobi.

Okolla, who is the younger to former international and now Prisons coach Dan Shisia, made his professional debut on November 11, 2011, defeating James Nyariki.

The other Kenyan in action tonight, Jane Kavulani (19-18-5, 7 KOs), battles home girl Fabiana Bytyqib (21-1-2, 5 KOs) in a six rounds bantamweight fight.

Kavulani last fought in Germany in June last year losing to Elina Tissen via an eigth round TKO.

The Kenyan turned pro in June, 2002, and in her debut lost to Tanzania’s Monica Mwakasanga who decisioned her in a six rounds bout that was supposed to be four rounds since Kavulani was making her pro debut.

The two Kenyan boxers are accompanied by the Secretary-General of the Kenya Professional Boxing Commission (KPBC) Franklin Imbenzi.

She fights Gabriel Sanchez on April 4 for WBC Silver title.

South Africa’s top female pro boxer Simangele “Smash” Hadebe has landed in Puebla, Mexico, after over 27 hours flight from Johannesburg.

After a six-hour stop-over in Paris, Hadebe took off for Mexico accompanied by her manager Colleen McAusland, award-winning coach Khangelani Jack and trainer Araafat Kock.

“The trip was exciting and long, kind of exhausted arriving in Mexico in my longest ever journey flying,” Hadebe told boxersworld.co.ke from her hotel in Mexico.

Hadebe landed running. Immediately after checking in at their hotel she went to the gym to shake off the jet lag.

“I had a light session to bring back my body to life. We’re struggling with communication because we haven’t met anyone yet that knows English but we’re really not here to talk much, the fists will do most of the talking in the ring.”

Hadebe (14-3-2, 5 KOs) will on Friday, April 4, fight Mexico’s Gabriel “La Bonita” Sanchez (11-6-0, 1 KO) for WBC Silver flyweight title, the biggest ever fight for the South African to be promoted by Latin KO Promotions.

Manager McAusland can’t wait for Friday to see her boxer lift the WBC title.

“We’re here to win that’s all,” said McAusland, “We’re hoping the judges will be fair, if not, the whole world will see as her sponsor DiscoverSport.com paid the broadcaster in Mexicoca substantial fee to show the fight to the whole world, thousands of people will be watching.”

McAusland has managed Hadebe from 2018, and treats the 26-year-old boxer as her daughter.

“She’s a lovely girl, very disciplined, we trust Smash, and we put our faith in God to have a good fight and fair judging.

“This is the biggest fight in her career to date, even though she is the current national champion and three-time ABU champion.

“Her pay check is not impressive, ESPN paid Smash more. This fight isn’t about the money. We are here to take the title home.”

IOC SHOULD STOP COLONISING INDEPENDENT NATIONAL BOXING FEDERATIONS

Hi Kirsty

Congratulations on your resounding victory in the IOC elections. I hope my open letter finds you  in good health as you plan on relocating to Lausanne, Switzerland.

I will dwell on the confusion the IOC has caused by demanding that National Federations affiliated to the International Boxing Association (IBA) must move to World Boxing (WB) to enable them to participate in the Olympic Games.

I advice you to change this directive immediately because it doesn’t make sense at all. As much as we know the IOC has an axe to grind with IBA concerning governance issues and questionable officiating among others.

IOC prides itself on a very fundamental issue of Fairplay in your governance but you have now dug your heads in the sand to deny NFs their freedom of association. Is that Fairplay?

IOC should let NFs decide which international body they want to be associated with instead of dangling the Olympic Games carrot to force them join WB.

Take note IBA has been in existence since 1946. It’s the mother and father of world boxing but just because some selfish IOC members were against its Russian leadership in the wake of the Ukraine war, you chose to suffocate its existence until you kicked IBA out of the IOC family.

Yet as you know the IOC itself has its own skeletons in the cupboard but you chose to remove the speck in the eye of IBA forgetting of your own inadequacies.

Kirsty, I believe you have come to IOC leadership independently but not as a stooge of the outgoing President Thomas Bach. Therefore the boxing fraternity expects you to operate professionally putting aside the tiff between IOC and IBA.

Don’t punish innocent boxers because of your personal differences with IBA. Let all boxers take part in the Olympic qualifiers irrespective of their affiliation.

In any case IOC is now allowing professional boxers to participate in the Olympics, and they will do so without being affiliated to World Boxing. So, why force others to join WB?

We know the wicked motive of IOC is to finish IBA which to me is retrogressive and selfish given that WB alone cannot satisfy the needs of thousands of boxers worldwide.

Right now, some NFs are in a tight corner on what path they should take regarding your undemocratic position of forcing them to join WB in order to participate in the Olympic boxing tournament.

For your information, Olympics has lost its lustre of yesteryears and is no longer competitive as it used to be because the IOC has watered down the competition by reducing weight divisions, thus denying some boxers their right to take part in the Games.

Against this background, and for the interest of the African boxers, I’m humbly requesting you and WB to ensure all the weight classes are reinstated and let boxers participate in the Olympics freely without forcing their NFs move to WB.

I hope to get your response soon because I know this letter will reach you. The world is now a small village.

Stand firm as the new sheriff in town, and if need be take the bull by horns. Most important is for the IOC to stop COLONISING independent NFs to shift to WB just because of the Olympics. IOC should foster unity and friendship in sports. Put aside your hatred on IBA and join forces to develop boxing worldwide. Right now there is no sports body which is perfect. You all have your skeletons.

Morocco once again emerged as the most successful African country in the Women’s World Boxing Championships in Serbia.

The Moroccans topped Africa by placing seventh overall with a gold from bantamweight Widad Bertal and light-heavyweight Hasnae Larti’s bronze medal behind winners Russia followed by Kazakhstan and Turkey in third place.

It was a repeat performance by Morocco who also won gold and bronze at the 2023 Women’s Worlds in India to finish sixth overall behind winners India, China and Russia in that order.

In an interview with boxersworld.co.ke, Morocco’s team manager Nabil Hilmi said they owe their success to the overwhelming support from the government which closely monitors their performance in major international events. For instance, after what the government described as Morocco’s dismal performance at the Paris Olympics, the entire technical bench was sent home and in came Cuba’s experienced Juan Carlos Maestre as the head coach. He’s handling a highly motivated team.

“The Morocco government in general and the ministry support us in our projects and our vision on how to improve boxing,” says Nabil.

He further elaborates on their preparations before the Serbia Worlds.

“Before going to Serbia, we first prepared in Casablanca then we participate in the Belgrade International Tournament. After Belgrade, we had a training camp in Montenegro for three weeks with other teams like Serbia and Turkey.

“Our team is also disciplined, dedicated and motivated largely because the government inspires our boxers.”

Kenya’s head coach Musa Benjamin explains their inability to rise up to the occasion which resonates with other underperforming African countries.

Says Musa: “Lack of serious competitions at home and the continent at large is clear.This is why countries like Morocco, Algeria,Tunisia are always in Europe for training and competitions.”

The Kenyan coach says owing to lack of exposure and regular competitions some African boxers such as three in his team and Zimbabwe made their international debut in the World Championships fighting against better exposed and well prepared boxers.

Musa went on: “You cannot coach experience. Whatever you coach/teach/train a boxer if not put in practice (competition) will never stick.

When done with driving school, then you don’t get a car to continue driving, the training becomes useless!”

Against such background, one would ask is there any need to enter half-baked teams in such high level tournaments?

“Certainly it’s useful to take our girls there,” says Musa, “because this is the only exposure they get, if we don’t take part where else will they be exposed?.”

Musa says there’s potential in Kenya and Africa as a whole but without proper preparations, African teams especially those south of Sahara will not excel at the big stage.

“Without training camps where all daily sessions can be realised, exposure and many tournaments in Africa, competing at this high level becomes difficult.

Exposure is mandatory.The last time our Kenyan boxers participated in a serious tournament was October last year in DRC in the Africa Championships compared to the European and Asian boxers who are constantly in action in their busy calendar of events. Locally, we don’t have depth so competition isn’t stiff resulting to complacency and standards going down.”

Zimbabwe’s head coach Alexander Kwangwari was satisfied with the performance of his three debutants in the Women’s Worlds, flyweight Agnes Kwashi, featherweight Lovelight Fusire and lightweight Hildah Kaye.

“I’m proud of my girls because they were new in the World Boxing Championships but we promise that next time when we get another chance we will make it,” says Kwangwari.

“My boxers gained a lot of knowledge but compared to what I saw in Serbia, we’re not very far from the European and Asian boxers. I thank the IBA for their support.”

Interestingly, the leaders of the two wrangling factions in African boxing have not issued any comprehensive statement on Africa’s show in Serbia and way forward. They’re busy battling for power oblivious of the boxers’ needs. Don’t be surprised if they didn’t watch a single session in Serbia. Their scope is limited as usual.

Most important however is the support of African governments for success in the global events. Catering for travel expenses, allowances and accommodation is commendable but without physically getting involved in the teams’ preparations – a vital component for success – is akin to building a house on quicksand without a strong foundation.

The post WHY MOST AFRICAN COUNTRIES FLOP IN WORLD BOXING TOURNEY appeared first on boxersworld.

Zimbabwe’s renowned promoter Clyde Musonda didn’t mince his words when I asked him how many years it can take a pro boxer in Africa to make $100,000, the prize money for gold medalists at the just-concluded Women’s World Championships in Serbia.

“In African professional boxing, it can take ten years for a boxer to reach that figure from accumulated payment per fight,” revealed Musonda in an interview with boxersworld.co.ke.

“The money in the world championships in Serbia is way above what African pro boxers earn here, the prize money for the IBA amateurs is very attractive as compared to what we pay in Africa.”

For all the razzmatuzz and flashy posters on social media, Musonda is brutally honest as he says it’s all showbiz but the truth is that African pro boxers earn a pittance.

“The biggest problem we have in Africa as promoters is lack of sponsors and TV rights,” explains the former Zimbabwean international boxer.

“In country’s like Russia, TV’s even control pro boxing by deciding on the dates, TV stations are in charge of boxing but in Africa they want to be paid by the promoters for covering their card, we still have a long way to go in our continent.”

Musonda says the foreign promoters take advantage of the current situation in Africa when they invite us for fights overseas.

“I remember when I took my boxer Kudakwashe Chiwandire for a WBC title fight in Mexico, they wanted to pay her $10,000. I refused I told them if that’s the case I can invite you to Africa for the same amount, eventually they agreed to pay her $20,000.”

What’s the average purse paid to boxers campaigning in Africa?, I ask Musonda.

“To be honest with you it’s not more than $10,000, I’ve done matchmaking for many years, payment is always less than $7000. However, it varies with different promoters but it’s approximately between $1000 to $7000.”

Namibia’s celebrated pro boxer Jeremiah Nakathila aka Low Key concurs with Musonda that amateur boxers in the IBA world tournaments earn more than African pro boxers.

Commenting on the top prize money of $100,000 in Women’s World Championships in Serbia, Nakathila says: “There are levels and few countries in the continent can produce an elite boxer who can generate $100,000 per fight. To be honest, most, if not all, African pro boxers don’t reach that good payday until they retire from boxing.”

The professional boxer says it’s very difficult for a pro boxer in Africa to earn more than $25,000, the money offered to bronze medalists in Serbia.

“When fighting in Africa it’s hard to be paid $25,000. I’m not sure if I can get an offer of more than that unless one is fighting overseas,” he says. “I get over $25,000 in two fights outside Africa,” he reveals.

Nakathila hails IBA for paying boxers handsomely which he describes as a big inspiration for them to excel. The boxer says he’s ready to feature in the IBA Champions’ Night fights if invited.

“For sure if I get such an invitation from IBA I’ll take it with both hands. I’m very impressed with IBA’s high standards.”

Kenya’s Commonwealth champion and WBF title holder Sarah Achieng aka Angel of War is also keen to participate in IBA Champions’ Night series.

“I love the professional manner in which the IBA organise their events and their good purse, it’s so colourful. I’m always ready to fight in their card if I’m invited,” says Achieng, citing the prize money in Women’s Worlds in Serbia.

“Most boxers in Africa are earning way below compared to amateur boxers who were fighting in Serbia,” says Achieng.

“Even title fights here don’t pay what a bronze medalist ($25,000) earned in Serbia. It could take a decade for an African pro boxer to make $100,000 unless they land a big international fight.”

Achieng has so far defended her Commonwealth title twice but financially she has not benefitted from the title she captured in 2021 when she outpointed Malawi’s Anisha Basheel at the Charter Hall. Her purse for winning the Commonwealth title didn’t exceed $3000.

“We just have big titles and belts but no money. Lack of regular fights and low purses paints a bleak future for pro boxing in Africa.”

Achieng is of the opinion if the situation doesn’t improve some boxers will give up and turn to other careers.

“Pro boxing in Africa needs proper structure, more business-minded people investing in the sport, consistent promotions and good TV deals. Unfortunately, in Africa we don’t have TV sponsoring fights like in Europe and the USA. We have a long way to go in the continent.”

Achieng congratulated compatriot Liz Andiego for earning $10,000 (Ksh1.2 million) in the Serbia World Championships.

“That’s good money for Andiego I’m proud of her determination and consistency, what she earned is enough to pay like 20 boxers in a Kenya pro boxing card.”

Lucky Liz Andiego laughing all the way to the bank Ksh 1,296,700 richer

It was a rich harvest for nine African boxers who minted a total of $195,000 in the one-week Women’s World Boxing Championships in Nis, Serbia.

Morocco’s newly-crowned world bantamweight champion Widad Bertal topped with $100,000 for winning gold in the finals. That’s a huge sum of money which if well invested will make a big difference in Bertal’s life and her family. At 25 years, Bertal still has a lot of gas in her to continue making more money in the IBA tournaments.

In second place on Africa’s top earners in Serbia is Morocco’s Africa light-heavyweight champion Hasnae Larti who made $25,000 for winning bronze. That’s the money to be paid to the two losing semi-finalists in each of the 12 weight categories.

Then we have the seven losing African quarter-finalists including the luckiest of them all Kenya’s Liz Andiego who received a bye to the quarters for the third time in a row. Unfortunately, this also happened to her in the 2022 and 2023 Women’s World Championships.

This time around, the 38-year-old Andiego was even luckier than in the past two Women’s Worlds, for she benefitted from IBA’s newly-introduced prize money for quarter-finalists.

At the current exchange rates, that’s Kshs1,296,700 earned in less than five minutes by Andiego, the face of female boxing in East Africa. I hope big organisations such as Safaricom and Sportspesa will now use her image as an Ambassador of women’s boxing in the region. Automatically this will enable Andiego to earn more money and to be a shining example to upcoming female boxers.

In an interview with boxersworld.co.ke from Serbia, Andiego said she’s now reaping the fruits of her resilience, perseverance and determination.

“First I thank God for this far I have come, it’s through hard work, determination and consistency over the years,” said Andiego, and went on: “It’s not in vain it’s paying off now, it’s now 15 years since my first world championships, not giving up and pushing on every year.

“Thanks to IBA for introducing prize money for the lower stages because it motivates boxers and changes their lives. I’m very grateful to IBA especially for enabling quarter-finalists earn prize money for the first time.”

In addition to Andiego, the other six African quarter-finalists who earned prize money are four Moroccans minimumweight Rabab Cheddar, flyweight Imane El Azami, welterweight Mounia Toutire and light-middleweight Saida Lahmida, Sierra Leone’s lightweight Josefien Betist and Nigeria’s London-based middleweight Patricia Mbata.

The prize money for all the boxers in Serbia will be wired to their bank accounts by the IBA.

MOROCCAN BERTAL EARNS $100,000 IN JUST NINE MINUTES!

It’s gold for Morocco and gold for Africa!

Two-time Africa champion Widad Bertal outpointed Turkish Olympic silver medallist Hatice Akbas in the final bantamweight bout of the 2025 Women’s World Championships in Nis, Serbia, on Sunday, March 16.

In just nine minutes, Bertal minted $100,000 the top prize for the gold medalists while Akbas earned $50,000 for silver medalists, courtesy of the world’s richest amateur boxing body, International Boxing Association (IBA).

What a memorable achievement for Bertal who now becomes the second African female boxer to win a world title after her compatriot, Khadija Mardi who won gold at the 2023 World Championships in New Delhi, India.

The fight did however not produce the expected fireworks and skillful boxing.

Both boxers had to be told by the referee to engage in the first round instead of dancing in the ring without attacking punches. Akbas then piled on points on the retreat with Bertal hardly landing any telling punch. She won the round unanimously.

Bertal started the second round aggressively, time and again unleashing sporadic combinations that landed on target to take the round 4-1 points.

The Moroccan maintained the same approach in the third round, carrying the fight to Akbas but constant holding by the two boxers messed up the pattern of the fight which I thought would be a clinch-free action-packed encounter.

In the middle of the round, Akbas touched the canvas with both gloves. That should have resulted in a standing count because it’s the same as a knockdown but the referee closed her eyes to that anomaly. Bertal should have also been counted when she took a knee signalling to the referee her head guard needed adjustment.

Bertal, who is also the African Games champion and Paris Olympics quarter-finalist, maintained her work rate landing smart combinations on Akbas’ face to win the fight by 3-2 decision that went for a Bout Review with the Moroccan prevailing 5-2, meaning the two extra judges both scored the fight in her favour. A fair decision indeed.

Well done Bertal. You can now dance all night long and screeeeeeam if you want. You’ve done Africa proud.

A classic, technical and probably clinch-free boxing is in the offing between two equally matched bantamweight boxers in today’s (March 16) finals of Women’s World Championships in Serbia.

Africa’s only hope for gold Morocco’s Widad Bertal battles Turkey’s Olympic Games silver medallist and 2022 champion Hatice Akbas in what promises to be a skillful battle of wits, art and predatory acumen.

The Turkish southpaw is an eagled-eyed stylish boxer with superb timing; so is Bertal who can also switch to southpaw stance to further confuse her opponent. The Moroccan is a smooth operator with a probing jab and could decide on a non-stop flurry of punches to spoil Akbas’ rhythm and annoy her too with her ring antics.

Whichever approach she decides to adopt, Bertal, facing the toughest ever opponent so far, must be wary of rushing aimlessly at her opponent lest she walks into her snapping left cross but luckily enough she’s not a big puncher.

The 25-year-old Bertal’s rise started at the 2022 AFBC Men’s and Women’s African Championships in Maputo, winning a bronze medal at bantamweight.

She has now made her presence felt in Morocco’s national team, twice winning gold in the Africa Championships and African Games in Accra and a quarter-final placing at the Paris Olympics.

Bertal is the only survivor of the 26 African boxers who entered Women’s Worlds in Serbia.
