Malawi's Ruth Chisale finally gets another opportunity

Malawi Defense Force boxer Ruth Chisale has secured a lightweight fight against Firuza Sharipova on June 5th in Kazakhstan. This bout comes six years after Chisale lost to Zambian Lolita Muzeya. Since then, Chisale has struggled to get fights, going just 2-1 in that span. She is 12-2 for her career. Chisale, who is part of the Malawi Defense Force, says she is looking forward to the facing tough fighter Firuza Sharipova, who is 15-2 including a world title loss to Katie Taylor. Still only age 25, Chisale said, “Memories of how I lost controversially in 2017 are still fresh. It was just an elimination fight, but my focus was on winning to secure a WBC fight. Now another opportunity has opened up. Therefore, I will do everything possible to win the belt.”
