WBA Mourns the Passing of Georgia O’Connor – World Boxing Association
The World Boxing Association (WBA) deeply mourns the passing of Georgia O’Connor, a gifted British boxer whose dedication and fighting spirit left an indelible mark on the sport.
O’Connor, who rose to prominence with a standout performance at the Commonwealth Youth Games, showcased extraordinary talent every time she stepped between the ropes. She passed away at just 25 years old after a courageous battle with cancer—a fight she met with the same grit and heart that defined her boxing career.
The WBA joins her family, friends, and the entire boxing community in grieving this heartbreaking loss. Georgia’s legacy extends far beyond the ring—her passion for boxing and the bravery she displayed both inside and outside the squared circle will be remembered always.
In this moment of sorrow, the WBA sends its heartfelt condolences to her loved ones and reaffirms its commitment to supporting and standing by the athletes who dedicate their lives to the sport.
