Caitlyn Wise triumphed in the semi finals of the U19 World Boxing Championships yesterday (October 30). 

Worcester-native Wise, who competes in the women's U54kg category of the competition, beat Brazilian, Leticia Eluterio De Brito via split decision in the semi final. 

In the previous round, Wise saw off competition from United States boxer, Violet Lopez, also winning the bout via split decision. 

The day's boxing started with Wise's England teammate, John-Thomas Varey losing in the men's U50kg edition of the competition to German Mohamed Al Manouchi. Japanese Fuma Kumamoto then fended off Welsh Michael O'Sullivan in the men's 55kg competition. 

Next was Wise who put on a truly dominant performance, winning the first and third rounds on all but one of the judges scorecards, and winning the second round unanimously - with four of the five judges having her down as the winner. 

Wise was able to utilise her superior height and reach to keep her opponent at bay, while delivering shots and uppercuts of her own to the head of Eluterio De Brito to win in such dominant fashion. 

Wise is now set to take on Indian fighter Supriya Devi Thokchom in the fight for gold, who defeated Ukraine's Bozhena Melnyk in her semi final fight. 

Wise hails from Ronkswood, Worcester and trains at Worcester City boxing club. 

Success in the final of the competition would be the next in a long list of accolades which Wise has already attained in her boxing career. She is a three time Midlands Champion, a three time National Champion, and a three time International Champion.

Wise was also named the Women's Winter Box Champion for 2023, alongside winning a junior European bronze medal and becoming the British Champion in the Tri Nations on June 9 of this year.

She has previously said that following the tournament her next goal is to be selected for the 2028 Olympic Games in Los Angeles. 

Wise's fight for the title takes place on Saturday, November 2.
