Result Summary

Jane Osigwe def. Sanaa Mandar Decision (unanimous) · R3 5:00

Billed as "unfinished business," Nigerian phenom Jane Osigwe sought to definitively settle the score against Morocco's Sanaa Mandar following their controversial prior No-Contest in Abuja. Competing at a 132-pound catchweight, Osigwe put on a masterclass of striking accuracy and composure, largely ignoring the hostile Moroccan crowd. Osigwe dictated the pace over the 15-minute affair, repeatedly finding a home for her strikes and neutralizing Mandar's sambo background in the clinch. Mandar showed toughness, but Osigwe's dominant output led to a clear unanimous decision victory (29-28, 29-28, 29-27) to finally close out this rivalry.
