BOXING Heroine, Esther Phiri broke down as she narrated the circumstances that forced her to quit boxing in 2013. Speaking at a Sponsorship Networking breakfast meeting held at Intercontinental Hotel this morning, Phiri said, ” I took a break due to medical reasons. I was told that I was sick.
However after having gone many medical procedures, I called my promoter and told him that I wanted my license back.”
” I told him that someone was doing this to me.I just wasn’t myself then. Out of determination I told myself that I was going back in the ring to fight. I am ready to do this, I am a champion,” said a teary Phiri. Esther Phiri is scheduled to fight against Sandra Almeida of South Africa on May 22.
