Some boxers are just ready for the big stage earlier than others. On July 8, Katie Healy from Wolverhampton, England proved that she is one of those.
Healy (24), with only four professional fights, travelled to South Africa where she defeated the much more experienced and accomplished local favourite Matshidiso Mokebisi (15-9-1) to become World Boxing Federation World Super Bantamweight Champion.
It was no secret that Healy had the talent, but it was still a major accomplishment that she could deliver so early in her career as she boxed excellently and won by unanimous decision.
The victory also makes her a clear WBF Boxer of the Month for July 2022.
