Meet Imoleayo "Imole" Abel, a 20-year-old female boxer from Nigeria with a passion for the sport that started at just 4 years old. From the moment she first put on a pair of gloves, she knew boxing was her calling. Inspired by boxing legends Claressa Shields and Laila Ali, Imole dreams of one day becoming one of the best female fighters in the world.
Fighting Against the Odds
Training in Nigeria comes with major challenges. Proper boxing facilities are scarce, equipment is difficult to come by, and resources are limited. Imole currently trains under the guidance of her father, but without adequate gear and nutrition, her journey to greatness is an uphill battle.
Food insecurity is a daily struggle, making it difficult for her to maintain the nutrient-rich diet essential for an athlete. Yet, she refuses to give up. Imole’s determination burns brighter than any obstacle in her path. With the help of sponsors like KO Studio and generous donations, she continues to push forward, training relentlessly despite the hardships.
Dreaming Beyond Borders
While Imole remains grateful for every opportunity, she dreams of moving to the U.S. to access better training facilities and improve her skills. She believes that with the right environment and support, she can reach her full potential and compete at the highest level.
Despite the difficulties she faces daily, Imole maintains a positive and inspiring attitude, encouraging other young girls to take up boxing and believe in their dreams—no matter the circumstances.
