Zambian boxing had its best week in years at Glasgow 2026, where Catherine Mwape and Emmanuel Katema both took bronze and gave the country its first two medals of the Games. Amateur results like those are the backbone of this section, because they are where Zambian fighters get seen before they turn professional. The country has a longer boxing history than its current profile suggests, from Lottie Mwale onward, and the amateur programme remains the route to international competition. AXN Sports covers the Commonwealth and African championships, the national tournaments that select those squads, and the Zambian professionals fighting abroad. Boxing markets are narrow and they open late. On amateur competition, most bookmakers price nothing at all until the medal rounds, and even then you are usually choosing between fighter to win and a handicap on rounds. Professional bouts involving Zambian fighters overseas are better covered by international sites than by local ones.
