Nina Meinke

Bio

Nina "The Brave" Meinke is a Berlin-based German featherweight who unified the IBF and IBO world titles in March 2026 in Hamburg — the culmination of more than a decade as a professional and multiple previous world title attempts. A technical, disciplined boxer, Meinke finally broke through after years of close calls against the elite of the 126lb division.

In April 2026, weeks after her title unification, Meinke underwent a second operation on a herniated disc in her lower back — her second back surgery at the same site. She has confirmed the operation was successful and is focusing on full recovery before attempting to defend her unified titles.
