Yemi Oduwole’s Ascent in Southeastern Lightweight Ranks
At 34, Yemi Oduwole stands as a grounded presence in the regional lightweight scene. Fighting out of Knuckle Up Fitness in Douglasville, Georgia, the 5’10” (178cm) competitor known as YEMSTER holds a record of 10 wins, 4 losses and 0 draws. Despite a modest North America ranking of 441, Oduwole has cemented his place within both the US Southeast and Kentucky circuits, earning at least two fights in each sub region over his last six bouts.
Oduwole’s journey through the lightweight division has been marked by consistency rather than flash. He has logged his two most recent fights in the 155 pound class where his height and reach create subtle tactical advantages. Training alongside a tight knit team at Knuckle Up Fitness, he has woven regional victories into a body of work that now draws attention from rankings committees across multiple territories.
