(APR 13) The International
Boxing Association (IBA) is proud to announce that AIBA Women’s
World Boxing Champion 2016 Estelle Mossely will be an Ambassador
for the upcoming IBA Women’s World Boxing Championships 2022 in
Istanbul, Turkey. The French boxer will be present at the
opening ceremony of the event.
In 2016, Mossely was crowned AIBA Women’s World Boxing Champion
and then went on to win the coveted Olympic gold medal in Rio a
few months later. She has been at the top of the sport for a
number of years and has beaten the best in her division
consistently, proving that she is one of the best female
fighters in recent memory.
“I am really looking forward to being ringside at the Women’s
World Boxing Championships in Istanbul,” said Mossely.
“As a champion of this event, I
know the sacrifices that need to be made to win. This year, the
level of competition is very high in all 12 weight categories,
which shows the tremendous growth of women’s boxing over the
last few years. I would like to thank the IBA for inviting me to
be a part of this major event. Winning this competition in 2016
is a memory I will never forget, so to return as an ambassador
is an amazing feeling.”
Chairwoman of the IBA Women’s Committee Amanda Coulson said, “We
are delighted to have Estelle Mossely as an Ambassador for the
upcoming Women’s World Boxing Championships. She has elevated
the level of women’s boxing to heights not seen before. Fans of
our beloved sport will always hold a special place in their
hearts for Estelle. Her accomplishments speak for themselves,
she has won all there is to win whilst carrying herself with
class and grace throughout her illustrious career. We are
looking forward to seeing the evolution of women’s boxing as we
seek to promote the sport globally.”
As with the Men’s Boxing World Championships last year, for the
first time ever, this year’s IBA Women’s World Boxing
Championships will have prize money. The prize money will be
equal to that of the men’s competition. IBA has made it a
priority to promote gender equality and the development of
women’s boxing. It is vital to make sure that world-class
athletes who fight to not only entertain the fans, but also to
make their dreams a reality, are fairly rewarded for their
efforts and have the stability required to train at the highest
level.
