Empowered and Unstoppable: The Inspiring Stories of Asian Women Boxers
July 17, 2023
     
   
   


 
Boxing has long been dominated by men. However, the game has been changing in recent years, as more females continue to participate in the sport. It has become more accessible to women in recent years, as they are now able to go into gyms and classes and learn the art of the sport.

More and more women around the world have been taking up the sport and showcasing just how talented they are with a pair of boxing gloves on. Some of the best appear to come out of the USA or Europe. Asia, though, is starting to make its mark on the sport in this discipline, as some of their female competitors are just as fierce as any of those that have already been making headlines.

In fact, many have considered to access an dịch vụ cá cược trực tuyến and place wagers on the women from the continent, as they have started to recognize their ability in between the ropes. There have been many instances in which Asian women have conquered and have looked dominant in the process. These are just some of the females to have broken down barriers and made names for themselves.

Mary Kom

A six-time World Amateur Boxing Champion and the only woman to have won it that many times, Mary Kom is an Indian boxer that has also been involved in politics. She was a former Member of Parliament, Rajya Sabha. “Magnificent Mary” was a dominant force throughout the amateur ranks, winning eight World Championship medals (the only person to have ever done it), while she was the world's No. 1 female light-flyweight. She is perhaps the reason why so many Indian women have taken up the sport in recent years, as she showed them that anything is possible.

Naoko Fujioka

Hailing from Japan, Naoko Fujioka is one of the most accomplished fighters to have ever stepped between the ropes. She is Japan’s first-ever five-division world champion, while the 47-year-old has widely been considered one of the best flyweights ever. Her last fight did not go to plan, as she was beaten by Marlen Esparza by a unanimous decision, but this only took her tally of losses to three. However, she did lose her WBA female flyweight title in the process. That was in April 2022, and she is yet to fight since. Nonetheless, with 19 wins from 23 fights (including one draw), Fujioka has shown she is a powerful combatant from Asia to go up against.

Huang Wensi

China’s Huang Wensi has already been recognized globally for what she has managed to accomplish in her life, aside from entering the boxing ring as a professional fighter. The BBC included her in their 2019 list of the 100 most inspiring and influential women from around the world, as she continued to challenge stereotypes that were still in place. She broke down those boundaries, and subsequently called herself the “Queen of the Ring” as she managed to overcome depression following the birth of her son. It is a story that many women could relate to, as Postpartum depression is a common consequence that many go through after giving birth.
