Personal life
Born in Bafia, Cameroon, Sawa moved to Italy aged eight. She gained Italian citizenship in 2022 and away from the boxing ring works as a nurse.[2]
Career
Having won the Italian amateur female 64 kg championship in 2020, Sawa claimed the vacant national professional female lightweight title with a unanimous decision success over Nadia Flalhi at PalaCasoria in Casoria on 8 September 2023.[4]
Unbeaten in her first seven pro-fights, she defeated Nina Pavlovic via unanimous decision at Unipol Arena in Casalecchio di Reno on 25 October 2024 to win the vacant European female lightweight title. The contest was held behind closed doors without a crowd due to severe flooding in the area around the venue.[5][6]
Sawa successfully defended her title by stopping Martina Righi in the first round at Palasport Arena Giuseppe Bondi in Ferrara on 11 April 2025.[7][8]
She faced Brenda Karen Carabajal for the vacant IBO female lightweight title at Unipol Arena in Casalecchio di Reno on 7 November 2025. Sawa was knocked to the canvas in the seventh round but recovered to finish the fight and won by split decision with two of the ringside judges favouring her 97–92 and 95–94 respectively, while the third scored the bout 95–94 for her opponent.[9][10][11]
