Catherine Phiri has lost her WBC World female bantamweight title.
Catherine on Sunday lost to Mexican Mariana Trejo in Mexico City on split points decision.
There was not to be a case of lightening striking twice in Mexico for Catherine where she won the WBC title in January, 2016 following a technical knockout victory over Yazmin Rivas.
The defeat is Catherine’s second of her 13 fight career since losing to Christina McMahon two fights ago in May, 2015 in Lusaka on points.
I hope my ka chick got lots of money 😀
Ya let’s hope the purse money is good, for her to use in her later years for medical bills, those blows to you head are fatal she should have asked Muhammad Ali.
Can’t be on Sunday, what time, should be Saturday.
She can loose, no publicity, only stories we hear are about PF.
The Queen never leaves her throne! It was a tactical mistake for the Zambia team to agree to fight in Mexico. I am sure the new Champ will avoid Cathy at all costs.
My review of the fight is that she was robbed. Mariana was battered and bloodied and worn-out. It could have been a case of home-ground biased judges. It is not correct to dethrone a Champion like that. Her team should appeal against the decision. Cathy dominated the fight and had a clear lead in majority (if not all) of the rounds.
Is this Mariana Trejo related to Dan Trejo the “machete” if that’s the case cathy can surely lose, but she has spoiled my Sunday.
What time was the fight…any video recorded,can’t wait to watch it….
Go on YouTube buddy and search Catherine Phiri Mexico Boxing or check Lsk times. Thy shall not rely on DeadNBC
We can’t blame Catherine as this was predicted from the start. When you have an illegal government that is failing its people in all areas of life you cannot surely expect the same people to effectively represent the country. The quicker we get rid of failures like lungu the better.
Ba Nez (best blogger 2026) surely even the loose of Cathy you blame it on Lungu? Now you are exhibiting that its not because Lungu is illegal (as you usually put it) but simply
George here is a logical example. Say you are father who is a failure in life and everything you do you fail at it. The only achievement is something that you corruptly gained. Meanwhile your kid looks upto you and learns from you. Now should the kid go onto fail who would you blame?
But iwe uli chi…to..le sana
Respct our president iwe…… Masipa aahoo @ NEZ
Please I have given you my logical reasoning. Is it hard to construct a simple sentence responding to my assertions. Fyonse efyo ulelanda bawiso
Shouldn’t have agreed to defend title in Challengers country. There’s a lot of betting and drugs out there
Correct and moving forward she will fight for less purse money. Ubukopo pa Zed
The defence match was supposed to be in Zambia….
White pigs are a problem.
Keep fighting young girl, these things happen, you win some and lose some just like your opponent’s record says. We are proud of you and will support you to the hilt.
And by the way, just ignore the UPNDonkeys, they don’t like easterners at all no matter what nice things they say to you. I am not kidding, HH himself made it clear that he does not like easterners by targeting Chief Justice Mambilima and ECZ Chairman Esau Chulu simply for being easterners. Deny it NEZ and your fellow donkeys, didn’t you and chief donkey hh describe easterners as corrupt finkubala eaters? Even bemba are in the same boat when donkeys meet in their inner circles which exclude GBM.
Kikiki surely I must have put you under stress go you to resort to tribal remarks and cooking up lies. The only ones discussing tribe here are pro pf. When I say that pf cadres like you are ignorant dogs I am called rude. However can you blame me ? If you act like a dog you might as well be one. Keep barking while we fight to make positive progress. Everyone irrespective of tribe is feeling pfs failure in managing the economy. Your own relatives wherever they come from not that I care, are suffering. You are probably settles abroad enjoying life while supporting a party that has led to starvation of your own relatives. Please wake up Bro. No need to be deliberately ignorant. Am sure you are old enough to reason
watched the fight apart from the Mexican dancing around I think Ester landed the more telling punches but am not a boxer neither am I the judge so perhaps she just lost
Leave Edgar alone this is sports Catherine fought well she lost on a split point decision it has nothing to do with politics, even your analogy of having a failure as a father is relative a lot of people come from parents who didn’t achieve a certain level of success in life yet their children used that perceived failure as a platform to launch their own success so lay off the politics and be objective am sure the cadre in you is capable of some level of objectivity not just pandering to the gallery for reasons known to you alone

I am one of those who raised from rags to riches.. My mum was not educated BUT she encouraged me to purse education seriously.
Kanjimaano you clearly didn’t heed your mother’s advice because if you did you would know to pursue education and not purse it
accept our choice ecl is ours continue being in denial instead of preparing for the next election dull kaofela
Catherine. You can do better than that. Hope is not lost. Rise up and win again. That lose is is just to strengthen you. Go for it.
