Estelle Mossely is a French professional boxer who formerly held the IBO female lightweight title. As an amateur, she won gold medals at the 2016 Rio Olympics and the 2016 World Championships.

Life

Mossely was born in France to a Congolese father and Ukrainian mother. In 2017, Mossely and Tony Yoka, also a 2016 Olympic Gold medalist and 2015 AIBA world amateur champion from France, gave birth to their son Ali.

She defeated Lucy Wildheart by unanimous decision at Complexe Sportif Chantereyne in Cherbourg on 14 June 2019 to win the vacant IBO female lightweight title.

In 2024, she stood in a bid to become the President of the French Boxing Federation. She was not the only female candidate as Sarah Ourahmoune, the Olympic silver medalist, was also standing. However in November, a month before the election, Ourahmoune withdrew, citing the racist and sexist abuse she had received as the reason.
