Career
Born in Kazakhstan (formerly a part of the Soviet Union) and currently residing in Moscow, she is the longest reigning WBA female super middleweight champion and WBC female super middleweight champion.[citation needed] At the time of her retirement, she held all major female super middleweight titles and two heavyweight belts:
- IWBF (International Women's Boxing Federation) super middleweight title
- WIBF (Women's International Boxing Federation) super middleweight title
- WIBA (Women's International Boxing Association) super middleweight title
- Global Boxing Union Female super middleweight title
- WBC female super middleweight title
- WBA female super middleweight title
- WIBC super middleweight title
- WIBF (Women's International Boxing Federation) heavyweight title
- WBF (Women's Boxing Federation) heavyweight title
On 15 March 2008, Ragosina defeated Bermudian Teresa Perozzi to win a record seven championship belts in a single fight.[1][2] This broke Giselle Salandy's previous record of six belts won in a single fight. However, two weeks later, Salandy – a light middleweight boxer – defeated Karolina Lukasik in a match with eight titles on the line to regain her record for titles won in a single fight.[citation needed]
On 11 July 2008, Ragosina won a controversial decision against Conjestina Achieng, winning a close but unanimous decision. One judge awarded Ragosina the fight by a single round, and the other two judges had Ragosina winning by a two-round margin. Some boxing observers believe Achieng won the fight.[3][4] The two had a rematch on 28 November 2008, which Ragosina also won.[5]
On 19 December 2009, Ragosina defeated heavyweight world champion Pamela London by knockout to add two heavyweight championships to her resume – the WIBF Women's International Boxing Federation heavyweight title and the World Boxing Federation heavyweight title. Despite a 65-pound (29 kg) weight disadvantage (Ragosina weighed in at 172 lb (78 kg), compared to London's 237 lb (108 kg)), the 5 ft 11+1⁄2 in (181 cm) Ragosina used her reach and quickness to knock out London in round 8. This brought Ragosina's record to 22-0, including a 16-0 record in title fights.[6]
Ragosina was inducted into the International Women's Boxing Hall of Fame in 2021.[7][8]
