(DEC 11) WBAN got an
opportunity to talk with retired world champion Yvonne Caples of
the United States who fought from 1999 to 2006. Caples is
currently in Germany and she told WBAN the following:
Flash from the Past - Yvonne Caples
"In June I made the move to the
east coast specifically Raleigh, North Carolina. Just as I was
beginning to get settled in Raleigh, my husband who works for a
German engineering firm was asked to go to Germany for 6 months
in October. I am enjoying my stay here in Mannheim and currently
work teaching online classes (to students in Las Vegas!) and am
an elearning developer. I am having a lovely time here in
Germany. The winter holidays are a fun time to be here with the
Christmas Markets and snow. I have been training (for fun
only...no plans to go back to competing) at a couple of local
gyms here and hope to visit other gyms around Germany as well as
go to boxing events happening here. The boxing/fight community
here is very welcoming and supportive and I have met some
wonderful people. I wish everyone a blessed holiday season and
would like to thank all of the amazing female fighters out there
whose determination, talent and spirit are truly inspiring!"
