Oshin Derieuw (born 29 April 1987) is a Belgian professional boxer, with a professional boxing record of 19 wins and no losses,[1] and who was a WBF Women's World Light Welterweight champion.[2] Late in her career, she made the switch to amateur boxing and qualified as first ever Belgian women boxer for the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris, France by winning a silver medal at the 2023 European Games.[3][4] At the Olympics, she reached the quarter-finals where she lost to the Chinese boxer Yang Liu.

Personal life

[edit]

Oshin Derieuw's parents named her after a character in a Japanese soap series, hence the decidedly non-Belgian sounding first name.[6] She grew up in Roeselare, Belgium, is the sister of Chilo "Chillow" Derieuw, a singer, music producer, and dj, and is married to the triathlete Charlotte Deldaele, the daughter of Belgian Olympic kayaking athletes Inge Coeck and Geert Deldaele.[7][6]
