Joseph, aka “The Iron Lady”, defeated her challenger by unanimous decision (60-53 points) in the six-round Super Bantamweight fight at the Foxwoods Resort Casino.
Although the Connecticut-based 30-year-old aimed for a knockout, she was taken the distance by a rather resilient Horgasx, 20, who managed to reach Round 6 on her feet.
With this victory, Joseph’s boxing record now stands at 22 fights comprising 17 wins, including 10 knockouts; two draws, and three defeats by “unjust” decision.
Thursday’s was her second bout after a one-year competition drought occasioned by lack of sponsorship and alleged discrimination by promoters who prefer boxers with large fan bases.
On April 3, Joseph ended the one-year break by defeating Edina Kiss, another Hungarian, by unanimous decision in a six-round Super-Bantamweight in New York.
NAN reports that among the spectators at the arena on Thursday were officials of the Nigerian consulate led by the Consul-General, Mr Benayaogha Okoyen, and other members of the Nigerian community.
“I feel great because I worked for it; I was really prepared for this fight,” she told newsmen afterwards.
“With the support of my people from New York, from the embassy (in Washington), I am so happy.
“I work hard to make them proud because they always support me in whatever I do; that is why I have to put in my best,” she said.
Also speaking to newsmen, Okoyen described Joseph’s victory as a true representation of Nigeria as a country of talented and successful people in diverse fields of endeavour.
“This victory was expected; we always trust The Iron Lady, who has made us proud in the past, and we knew she would win this fight.
“She has won it; we are very proud that our own has won again.
”This is a representation of Nigeria, this is what we proudly profess and this is Nigeria in action,” he said.
