Ugandan-born boxer Micheal Obin, based in Stockholm, Sweden, continues to struggle in his professional career after suffering his 14th straight defeat on Saturday, October 25, 2025, at the Halle am Platz der Deutschen Einheit in Wiesbaden, Hessen. Obin lost by unanimous decision (UD) after four rounds against Youssef Lazar, adding another setback to his long and turbulent journey in the sport.

The loss brings Obin’s professional record to 5 wins, 34 losses, and 1 draw, a statistic that paints a difficult picture for the 40-year-old veteran. Once considered a promising prospect when he began his professional career, Obin has endured a decade-long stretch without a victory — his last win dating back to November 16, 2013, when he defeated Joe Mullender in a ten-round contest at York Hall, Bethnal Green in London.

Now at the age of 40, many in the boxing community are beginning to question whether it might be time for Obin to call it a career. Despite his perseverance and passion for the sport, the repeated defeats and physical toll raise serious concerns about his long-term health and legacy.

Observers note that while Obin’s determination is admirable, continuing to fight against younger, fresher opponents may no longer be sustainable. Boxing is a sport that demands not just skill, but timing — and for a fighter whose best days are likely behind him, the discussion of retirement seems both inevitable and necessary.

Still, Obin’s resilience and willingness to step into the ring after every setback are traits that few can ignore. Whether he decides to retire or continue, his journey remains a testament to the enduring spirit of fighters who refuse to give up, no matter the odds.

As questions about his future swirl, one thing remains certain — Micheal Obin has given his all to the sport he loves. The decision now lies in his hands: fight on or finally rest the gloves that have defined his life for over two decades.
