Adijat Gbadamosi, Nigeriaโ€™s first female professional boxer to win a title, holding the African Super Bantamweight belt, has thrown a warning shot by stating that she is gunning to become Africa first female world boxing champion.

She is hoping for a shot at the world title in the U.S. later in the year.

Gbadamosi disclosed this today in an interview with the OsunDaily at an event organised by her promoters to herald her victory in the ABU title fight in Accra, Ghana.

Gbadamosi, still basking in the euphoria of her recent victory, said she is aiming at a world title fight after entering the history books as the first female Nigerian boxer to win the African Boxing Union (ABU) title.

The 2018 Youth Olympic Silver medalist scored a technical knockout (TKO) in five rounds over Zimbabwean soldier, Patience Mastara, in a scheduled 10 rounder to win the ABU Super Bantamweight title.

Speaking after the event, she said, โ€œIt was such a great moment when I won the bout and entered the history books as the first female Nigerian boxer to win an ABU title.

โ€œI saw the bout as a challenge for me and I prepared well, knowing the pedigree of my opponent,โ€ she continued.

The Osun State-born boxer began her boxing journey at the age of eight and says she fell in love with the sport instantly and is passionate about it.

โ€œI grew up to love boxing and I have been training as a boxer since the age of eight years.

โ€œI had no opposition from my family because for me it is a passion and I have long decided to go into boxing as a career and I have no regrets,โ€ Gbadamosi said.

The boxer, who has represented Nigeria at the Junior Olympics, is now looking ahead to the WBC title fight later in 2023 and called on the federal, Lagos and Osun State governments to support her quest to make more history.

โ€œThe WBC title fight is coming up later in the year, maybe in November, so I need a lot of support and training,โ€ she said.

โ€œIt is not a bad dream to put Nigeria in the face of the world again if I become the world champion; so, right now I need the support of these governments.

โ€œI want recognition from my state governor, Ademola Adeleke, to help me in whatever way he could.

โ€œI want to make Nigeria proud and I want Nigeria to be proud of me,โ€ she said.
