French boxing star Estelle Mossely has just been named the face of Hublot, just a few weeks ahead of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games. A look back at a flourishing and inspiring career.

She is one of the women who make France proud. Born in Créteil in 1992 to a father of Congolese origin and a mother of Ukrainian origin, Estelle Mossely has been involved in sport since she was a child. After ballet, swimming and figure skating, she took up boxing at the age of 12.
At 18, Estelle Mossely joined the French national team. While continuing her studies at the École supérieure d’ingénieurs de la Défense, from which she graduated, the boxer followed a rigorous daily training programme.
