Ghanaian boxer Abigail Quartey has won her title despite facing prejudice | DW News

From DW News.

Her achievements with the Black Bombers, the national team, made history for her country. But while becoming a fighter she found she had to battle far more powerful opponents than those she faced in the ring: the naysayers who insist women can’t be fighters.
