Gbadamosi reacts to controversial loss at African Boxing Champs

Nigerian boxer Aishat Gbadamosi has expressed no disappointment over her controversial loss at the African Boxing Elite Championships in Nairobi, Kenya. She lost by a disputed 3-1 decision to Algeria’s Douaa Rouaz in the women’s featherweight category. The result upset some spectators who believed Gbadamosi deserved better. Rather than dwell on the loss, she immediately watched a replay of the fight to analyze her performance and identify areas for improvement.

Gbadamosi, who had previously competed in Ghana, emphasized that representing Nigeria on the continental stage was a privilege. She stated, "This is an experience I will cherish for a very long time. I am not disappointed. I will keep moving forward in my boxing career. I am a boxer, and I was born a boxer." She vowed to use the exposure to enhance her skills and leave the final decision to the officials.
