Choi Hyun-Mi, the South Korean champion, is a force to be reckoned with in the boxing world. With an unbeaten record of 19 wins, 1 draw, and no losses or no-contests, she has become one of the biggest names in female boxing. As a professional boxer with over a decade of experience, Choi has garnered an impressive set of achievements that showcase her expertise, authoritativeness, and trustworthiness.

Choi's career began in 2008, at the age of 17, when she defeated Xu Chun Yan via a 10-round unanimous decision in her professional debut. This win marked the start of her illustrious career. Choi's first world title fight came on the same day as her debut, where she took on Yan for the featherweight WBA (vacant) title. She defeated Yan via a 10-round unanimous decision, at the age of 17, to become the world featherweight champion.

Choi has a record of 15 successful title defenses, with her latest defense taking place on October 19, 2022, where she won a 10 round unanimous decision victory over Vanessa Bradford to defend her WBA super-featherweight title. With her latest win, Choi extended her winning streak to 18 fights. Her undefeated record is highly impressive, especially considering that she has faced formidable opponents like Sandy Tsagouris, Sainumdoi Superchamps, Siriwan Thongmanit, Keanpetch Superchamps, Jessica Gonzalez, Shannon O'Connell, and Wakako Fujiwara. All these opponents have failed to defeat Choi.

Choi has won two world titles at two different weight classes. Her first title, which was won on the same day as her debut, was the featherweight WBA (vacant) title. Choi then dominated the featherweight division, successfully defending her title 8 times. In 2013, she won the super featherweight WIBF title by defeating Mexican fighter Jessica Gonzalez via unanimous decision. Since then, Choi has successfully defended her title 7 times.

Throughout her career, Choi has had an incredible knockout record, with 4 of her 19 wins coming via knockout. Her title-fight KO record stands at an impressive 3 out of 17, with no losses via KO. Despite her impressive knockout record, Choi is more renowned for her defensive style. Her opponents have found it incredibly difficult to get past her fighting style, which has helped her maintain her undefeated record.

Choi is considered the best female boxer from South Korea and has built a massive following in her home country. Her bouts have always drawn large crowds, and she continues to be a source of inspiration for upcoming fighters. She has won numerous awards in her illustrious career, including the Best Asian Female Boxer of the Year award in 2013, 2014, and 2015.

Choi has become a global spokesperson and role model for female boxing. She has played a vital role in the growth and development of female boxing in Asia and has helped shift the focus from male-dominated professional boxing to a more gender-equal representation. Her impact and influence can be seen in the increasing number of young women choosing to take up boxing across Asia. She is a symbol of perseverance, hard work, and dedication; a true inspiration not just to aspiring boxers but to everyone looking to achieve greatness in their chosen field.

In conclusion, Choi Hyun-Mi is a female boxing legend with an unparalleled record, an exciting offensive style, and an incredibly impressive defensive record. She has won numerous titles and continues to be a source of inspiration for many in the world of female boxing. Her legacy as a champion and a role model continues long after her fighting days.
