Nigeria’s Helen ‘Iron Lady’ Joseph is set for action against Martina Horgasx from Hungary on Thursday in her return to professional boxing.
On April 3, Joseph ended the one-year break by defeating Edina Kiss, another Hungarian, by unanimous decision in a six-round fight in New York. The News Agency of Nigeria reports that the path to Thursday was rocky for the talented US-based boxer, who had to buy the fight. This means that with promoters and sponsors still nowhere to be found, she had to personally raise the $10,000 demanded by organisers to give her an opponent.Also nicknamed “Princess of Africa”, Jospeh’s 15-year career boasts of an impressive 21-fight record of 16 wins, including 10 knockouts; two draws, and three “unjust” defeats.
