Professional career

Chiwandire made her professional debut on 28 November 2015, scoring a four-round unanimous decision (UD) victory against Barbara Banda at the National Sports Development Centre in Lusaka, Zambia.[3]

After compiling a record of 4–2–1 (4 KOs), she defeated former world champion Catherine Phiri via split decision (SD) over ten rounds, capturing the vacant WBC female interim super-bantamweight title on 26 February 2022, at the Government Complex in Lusaka.[4]

On 18 March 2023, Chiwandire got the chance to upgrade to full champion status when she challenged WBC female super-bantamweight title holder Yamileth Mercado, but she lost the contest held in Chihuahua, Mexico, by unanimous decision.[5] [6]
