Oshae Jones, born March 1, 1998, in Toledo, Ohio, is an American professional boxer. Team USA records that she was the first female boxer from Ohio, and the first female welterweight, to represent USA Boxing at an Olympic Games. At the 2019 Pan American Games in Lima she became the first women's welterweight gold medalist in Pan American Games history, beating Canada's Myriam DaSilva by unanimous decision, per Team USA's Games reporting. At the Tokyo 2020 Olympics (held in 2021) she won the bronze medal in the women's welterweight division, as Olympics and Team USA records state. She turned professional in 2022 and on November 22, 2024, in Atlanta, beat defending champion Femke Hermans by split decision to win the IBF and IBO super welterweight titles. She defended them against Elia Carranza by split decision on July 25, 2025, signed with Most Valuable Promotions in January 2026 — ESPN listed her at 9–0 with 3 knockouts at the signing — and retained the titles in a drawn rematch with Carranza on June 13, 2026, standing 9–0–1 as the title listings state it.

Notes

Sports Encyclopedia roster CTL-SPE-0513. Firsts disposition: both Team USA firsts (first Ohio woman, first female welterweight, to represent USA Boxing at an Olympics) and the first women's welterweight Pan American gold (2019) are carried exactly as Team USA states them — scoped to USA Boxing and to the division's first running, not broadened. Medal disposition: Tokyo 2020 bronze is stated from Team USA's own profile (Olympic Experience: bronze, Welterweight – Women); the Games were held in 2021 under the Tokyo 2020 name, and the record keeps the official Games name. Title status dated: IBF/IBO super welterweight champion from November 22, 2024, defended July 25, 2025, retained on a draw June 13, 2026. Curator's Judgment (DRAFT): Jones is this lane's Olympian — the medal came first, the professional belts second — and her unbeaten record is carried with its draw shown, not rounded away.
