Finnish · Turku, Finland · Born 30 October 1980Eva Wahlström is a Finnish former professional boxer and WBC female super-featherweight world champion from 2015 to 2020.
Finland's most successful female boxer — WBC Super Featherweight champion for over four years, an undefeated reign of exceptional quality and a boxer of technical precision whose career made her the most celebrated Finnish women's boxer in history. Boxing is one of sport's most demanding disciplines, requiring power, speed, technical craft and extraordinary personal courage inside the ring. Career highlights included WBC Women's Super Featherweight Champion (undefeated reign), Finnish Boxer of the Year multiple times, European Champion. The measure of a great boxing athlete is the ability to perform consistently over time, and Eva's record demonstrates precisely that quality of sustained excellence. Few athletes in boxing combined consistency and peak performance as effectively across the full span of a long and distinguished career. Competing at the highest level in boxing over an extended period demands not only physical gifts but the mental resilience to overcome setbacks and maintain standards — something Eva Wahlström demonstrated throughout.
