Sadaf Khadem (born 1995) is a female boxer from Iran.
She held her first international fight on April 14, 2019 where she defeated Anne Chauvin from France.
Khadem is the first female boxer since the Iranian
Revolution to compete in an official boxing contest and the first Iranian woman to win an official match.
This match is particularly important because female boxing has been prohibited since the Iranian Revolution.
Khadem and her trainer, Mahyar Monshipour, had been expected to return to Tehran after the win.
However, she canceled return to Iran after arrest warrant issued due to breaching dress rules for women in Iran.
