Press Release: By Probellum – Los
Angeles, CA - January 23, 2022 - Probellum is delighted to
announce the promotional signing of IBO world lightweight champion and Olympic
gold medallist,
Estelle Mossely. Credit: Probellum
The 29-year-old French fighter (9-0, 1
knockout), who is undefeated as a professional, clinched the IBO world lightweight title in 2019 with a
victory over Lucy Wildheart.
Prior to turning
professional, Paris-born Mossely enjoyed a stellar career at
amateur level winning gold medals at the 2016 Rio Olympic Games and World
Championships, where she famously defeated current undisputed female
world lightweight champion Katie Taylor at the semi-final stage.
“I am
very excited to embark on the next stage of my boxing journey with Richard
Schaefer and his team at Probellum,” said Mossely.
“I have
known Richard for many years and his track record as a promoter speaks for
itself – he really knows how to build champions into superstars and I’m excited
to start working closely with him.
“As a
truly global boxing promoter with events all around the world, Probellum offers
me the ideal platform to showcase my skills and bring more fans to female
boxing. I predict very exciting times ahead and can’t wait to get started.”
“I have
been a fan of Estelle since her historic gold at the 2016 Rio Olympics,” added
Richard Schaefer, President of Probellum. “Not only
because of her tremendous boxing skills, but also the way she carries herself
outside the ring which makes her in my view the best ambassador for female
boxing in the world.
“She is
a role model for fans and fighters everywhere and in my opinion today, she
is the best pound-for-pound female fighter in the world. In fact, I have
not seen the kind of ring talent and skills from any other fighter, male or
female, since I was fortunate to promote Floyd Mayweather.
“I am
honoured and humbled that Estelle has chosen Probellum to be her promoter and I
am already working round the clock to plan her first fight under the Probellum
banner.”
Mossely becomes the second undefeated female
champion to sign for Probellum, following Danish fighter Dina Thorslund

Nietes, Lee McGregor, Eimantas Stanionis, Arthur Biyarslanov, Noel Mikaelian,
