Elizabeth Oshoba stopped Britain's Chelsey Arnell via technical knockout at 42 seconds of the third round in a super featherweight bout, improving her professional record to 10-0 with six wins by knockout. From the opening round, Oshoba imposed her rhythm with sharp jabs and powerful right hands, consistently backing Arnell into the ropes. Body shots and precise combinations wore down the British fighter, whose defense weakened as the rounds progressed. The finish came swiftly in the third when a flurry of clean rights stunned Arnell, leading the referee to intervene as Oshoba surged forward with unanswered punches.
Oshoba, the former IBF International super featherweight and WBC Silver featherweight titleholder, has remained unbeaten since turning professional in 2022. Her victory follows a win over Czech fighter Lenka Volejníčková in March 2025, further solidifying her standing in the division. Arnell entered the contest with a 5-2-1 record. In a Facebook post after the fight, Oshoba credited her success to faith and perseverance, writing, "Victory👑 God did it🙏🏾. All glory to God—this was already written. I stayed consistent, trusted the process, and it paid off." She thanked Jake Paul and Nakisa Bidarian of Most Valuable Promotions for the opportunity and acknowledged Sky Sports and ESPN for broadcasting the event.
Oshoba's declaration that "God did it" rings loud, but her victory was forged in the ring, not just in faith—her precision and aggression dismantled Arnell systematically. While she thanks promoters and broadcasters, it is her relentless in-ring dominance, not platform access, that is elevating Nigerian boxing on the world stage. This win wasn't handed to her; it was taken.
