Natascha Ragosina

Natalia Yurievna Ragozina (Наталья Юрьевна Рагозина; born 5 April 1976), better known as Natascha Ragosina, is an undefeated retired Russian professional boxer who spent much of her career ranked as the top female super middleweight in the world.

Though 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.

At the time of her retirement, she held all major female super middleweight titles and two heavyweight belts:

On 15 March 2008, Ragosina defeated Bermudian Teresa Perozzi to win a record 7 championship belts in a single fight, breaking Giselle Salandy's previous record of 6 belts won in a single fight.

However, two weeks later, Salandy - a light middleweight boxer - defeated Karolina Lukasik in a match with 8 titles on the line to regain her record for titles won in a single fight.

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.

Perhaps due to the controversial decision in the first fight, the two had a rematch on 28 November 2008, which Ragosina won more convincingly.

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 lb weight disadvantage (Ragosina weighed in at 172 lb, compared to London's 237 lb), the 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.

Ragosina is also a single mother.

She considers herself good friends with fighters Fedor Emelianenko, Alexander Povetkin, and Nikolai Valuev.
