Newly crowned African Boxing Union ABU Bantamweight Champion Catherine Phiri says passing her grade nine examinations will be the greatest thing to ever happen this year.

Catherine says her aim is to make education her priority.

She also says she does not plan to stay in boxing for long, although she will only quit after winning a world title belt.

And Oriental Quarries Boxing Promotions operations Director Chris Malunga says the stables will bid to the World Boxing Council WBC for Catherine to vie for the world title.

On Saturday, Catherine added the ABU bantamweight title to her accolades after beating her Ugandan opponent Toma Hawa Babirye at Mulungushi International Conference Center.

On the same night, Zimbabwean boxer Charles Manyuchi crashed Isaac Sowah of Ghana in the third round to defend the ABU welterweight belt.

  1. Don’t worry my dear, the person standing next to you is good at forging papers. You will be given a leakage.

  2. Very good Catherine. You have your priorities right. Education is the key that opens many doors and guarantees you to face the future with confidence. Wishing you the very best in your studies and you set a good reinvigorating example to girls and in indeed boys who have given-up on life.

  3. I think i might be wearing wrong glasses. This man looks won off and only skeleton is seen in his face. Put some meat man and leave those Mayela girls alone

    • @Keyser, not everyone has the same opportunities, others have to ‘fight’ their way up. It should be recommended that she hopes to carry on with her sch. Besides, she may not need the sch for work, but to manage to her own businesses as she will have made enough money by time she’s done with her schooling.

    • You finished high school early. Tell us how money are you making?. I finished my grade twelve at 22. I grew up in a small grass thatched village house with no electricity. The first time i experienced how it feels to live in an electrified house is when i went to a boarding school in grade ten. Today i own a three bedroom house, four by two bedroom semidetached flats in a wall fence in Lusaka. I earn KR216,000 per year from my formal employment plus KR120,000 per year from my small investments. Catherine Phiri’s life too started on a bad note but already one can tell that GOD has opened windows of blessings for her. Soon she will be a bigger than you and will keep choking with envy.

    • Ba Keyser mwalibola elo mulicipuba icikulu!!!!!!!
      tel us wat u do for a living ******we! Cathy is even well off than u are gentele koswe iwe

    • leave the young girl alone. Have you not heard and seen people obtaining first degrees at the age of 72. Lets encourage the the girl. Better late than never. Education does not end.

  4. I love masumba he really makes my day he is a man who suits all situations no wonder he is a true leader.congrats Catherine phiri I wish you all the best in your exams and your boxing career

  5. This Masumba may want to repeat the Nsanda vs Esther. Oriental please protect beautiful Cathy from such guys they don’t mean we’ll. The next time we will see him kissing her in front of those dancing queens.
    if possible it will be good for Zambia to see Esther and Cathy together not in the ring though.

  6. She is a female boxer but surrounded by fi ma men, women where are you??? help this girl before one of these cheats her for her money!!!

  7. Atleast she showed the so called Shepolopolo what winning is all about.Maybe Shepolopolo must be disbanded for wasting tax payers money in there loses every time they play against southafrican girls they loose.

  8. Masumba will make certificates both Grade 9 and 12 for you with distinctions! he’s too crafty…LOL…..Keyser Soze being judgmental for nothing, try for once be positive and supportive, otherwise you’ll never succeed in life

  9. Allow me to give you a situation of how Vin Dicarlo
    Pandoras Box functions. Thus, say you’re at a supermarket and you notice a gorgeous young
    woman in the exact same aisle as you. State for example,
    that it’s the java aisle. You really want to begin a discussion
    with her because you do not desire to get rid of this opportunity
    and also you believe you are likely to regret it for the rest
    of your daily life if you do not talk to her now.

    So you can get vin dicarlo pandoras boxthe guts to begin referring to “what is a great java to drink.” Something to get a dialogue started right?

    Few moments go by and you feel as if there is a good connection together with
    her. UNTIL, she slowly starts to lose interest and it is possible to tell by looking at her that she was…
