Costin Doina

About

Doina Costin, a Moldovan boxer born in 1994, has made a name for herself in the professional boxing ring in Great Britain since her debut in February 2024, accumulating a record of 3 wins and 2 losses. Among her notable achievements are decisive victories on points against Sherie Barnes, Kira Carter, and Alisha Lewis, all within BCB Promotions events such as "February Firepower 2," "Maximum Mayhem 2," and "The New Guard." Although she suffered losses in regional title fights – against Sian O’Toole in the light heavyweight division and Gabriela Strikaityte in the super bantamweight division – her ambition has quickly propelled her into the spotlight, progressing from four-round bouts to 10-round championship distances. Her career is closely linked to Northampton, where she began training at the renowned Shoe-box Gym under the guidance of coach James Conway from 2021, later moving to Epic Golden Gloves Boxing Club in Newark, alongside former British champion Esham Pickering. This collaboration refined her technique and stamina, allowing her to spar with boxers like Jessica Barry and absorb the experience of a world-title-winning coach. Costin competes in categories such as super-featherweight and bantamweight, fighting in venues like the Hangar Venue in Wolverhampton, Eastside Rooms in Birmingham, and Park Inn Hotel in Northampton, demonstrating impressive adaptability in a competitive sport. Having come from the Republic of Moldova to the UK for a better life, Doina Costin now looks beyond regional borders towards the dream of a world title. With fierce determination, she emphasizes the importance of a fast pace in women's boxing, where opportunities do not wait, and motivates the public to support her in fulfilling her potential. Although details of her personal life remain private, her journey from Moldova represents a symbol of the resilience of Moldovan women in international sports.
