She urged young girls to take up any sport and help contribute to the well-being of their families.
Catherine, who is also Africa Boxing Union (ABU) champion, won the WBC belt in March this year after knocking out Pia Mazelanik of Germany.
“Sport is a good employer and it has potential to change one’s life. So, I urge the young people here to try out any sport they are comfortable with,” she said.
Chileshe is using the fight to prepare for this mothend’s international tournament billed for Kitwe with a yet to be named boxer.
The exhibition tournament which will have six bouts on the cards is being sponsored by Nalumba Lodge in conjunction with Oriental Quarries Boxing Promotion.

Joshua Milton Blahyi — aka General Butt Naked — was a ruthless and feared warlord during Liberia’s 14-year civil war. Today, he has renounced his violent past and reinvented himself as a Christian evangelist on a journey of self-proclaimed transformation. Blahyi travels the nation of Liberia as a preacher, seeking out those he once victimized in search of an uncertain forgiveness. But in the end, are some crimes beyond the pale of forgiveness?
Dubbed “General Butt Naked” for fighting with nothing more than an AK-47 and a pair of leather shoes, Blahyi believed he possessed supernatural powers that made him impervious to bullets. The General and his army of child soldiers are said to have killed thousands during Liberia’s horrific civil war. Following a dramatic conversion to Christianity, the General abruptly laid down his weapons in 1996, leaving behind his soldiers, his country and a war that would rage for another seven years.
Today, Blahyi is on a quest for redemption: facing those he once terrorized, preaching where he once murdered, and trying to rebuild the shattered lives of those he commanded during the war. For five years, filmmakers Eric Strauss and Daniele Anastasion tracked his often troubling path up-close, finding both the genuine and disconcerting in Blahyi’s efforts. The film forces us to question the very nature of what true, meaningful reconciliation looks like in a country where justice has not been available. At every turn, THE REDEMPTION OF GENERAL BUTT NAKED challenges viewers to confront hard questions about both the power and limits of forgiveness in a nation searching for healing and justice. Whatever you make of him — liar or madman, charlatan or genuine repentant — you will never meet another character as challenging as Joshua Milton Blahyi, General Butt Naked.
