(OCT 10) WBAN is excited to report that we have a former stellar amateur female boxer, Tiara "The Dark Menace" Brown, of Bladensburg, Maryland, who has joined  the pro ranks of women's boxing.   On September 30th,  at the Sphinx Club, in Washington, District of Columbia. Brown made her pro debut by winning a stunning first round KO of her opponent, Khadija Sanders, pro debut, of  Wilson, North Carolina, where the bout was scheduled for four rounds in the featherweight division.

At her pro debut, who as an amateur, was a two-time participant at the US Women's Olympic Trials and 2012 World Gold and 2014 World Bronze Medalist had some great teammates supporting her at ringside, that included two-time Olympic Gold Medalist Claressa Shields, 2012 World Bronze Medalist Franchon Crews and 2012 World Silver Medalist Raquel Miller who all sat ringside at the event to support Brown. 

After Brown's fight on September 30th, WBAN contacted her to do a post-fight interview: 

Sue TL Fox:  How did the Transition feel to fight in the amateurs for years and then fight as a pro in your debut?

Tiara Brown:   I think the transition was pretty easy for me since I've been boxing so many years now.   I actually already felt like I was a professional boxer. But to fight with no head gear it was totally amazing and such a cool experience. I felt like I could see way better than when I  competed with head gear on.

Sue TL Fox:  What made you decide to fight as a pro vs. the many accomplishments you have made and continued to make as an amateur boxer?

Tiara Brown:  Going to the Women's World Championships twice back to back and winning a gold and a bronze medal I felt as if their was noting else I could accomplish in amateur boxing. The only thing bigger than the Worlds is the Olympics and I participated in the trials twice back to back at a heavier weight class in hope to make the Olympic Team. 132 pounds is just to heavy of a weight class for me, especially because I walk around at 132 pounds so it was very difficult for me to fight at that weight because I was always the smallest person. With that being said I think I accomplished all that I could in the amateurs and now I'm ready to start all over in the pros.

Sue TL Fox:  What are some of your ultimate goals now that you are a pro boxer?

Tiara Brown:  My ultimate goal is to be a world champion. Not only that but to be a household name when it comes to women's boxing around the world. I want to help break the barrier in the sport of boxing and show fans that women's boxing is just as exciting as men's boxing.

Sue TL Fox:  Of the many pros in the sport, are there any particular boxers that when you have gained experience that you would like to see in the ring?

Tiara Brown:  I love watching women's boxing and there are so many great boxers especially at my weight. I am looking forward to gaining as much experience as possible and in due time competing against the top dogs in my weight, when I earn the right to fight them that is lol.

Sue TL Fox:  We see that you recently graduated from the police academy and you are now a police officer for the Metropolitan Police Department, what made you decide to be in law enforcement?

Tiara Brown:  I actually went to Columbus State University in Columbus, Georgia, and I majored in Science and got my Bachelors Degree in Criminal Justice.  Ever since I was a kid I adored law enforcement and I always knew I would end up making that my career. I love helping people and I love knowing that I help change lives and make horrible situations better.

Sue TL Fox:  What are some of your goals in law enforcement do you think you would like to accomplish? Are in interested in investigations, specialty units, etc.?

Tiara Brown: 
I would actually like to do undercover work, people tell me everyday I look to young to be a police officer. I think I could use that to an advantage, I would like to work with units that go undercover in investigating child exploitation but my ultimate goal when I get many more years under my belt is to become a U.S. Marshal and be on the Fugitive Task Force.

Sue TL Fox:  If you were to give any advice to females who would like to pursue women's boxing in the amateurs or pros what sound advice would you give them?

Tiara Brown: 
I would say don't ever let anyone tell you who you can become or what you can become. Don't ever let people tell you that your dreams are too big or impossible to achieve. Throughout my life I was told I was not smart enough for college or I wasn't strong enough to win. I overcame all trials that were sent my way. I believed in myself when many others had doubt. I prayed, stayed humble and trained the hardest I could everyday. That's how you become great, that's how you become a champion.

Some of the highlights of her amateur career, includes the following: 2015 USA Boxing National Champion; 2014 World Championships Bronze Medalist; 2014 USA Boxing National Champion, 2012 World Champion, 2012 USA Boxing National Champion; and U.S. Olympic Team Trials for Women's Boxing Participant...and more.

WBAN would like to thank Tiara Brown for taking the time to be interviewed with her busy schedule.  We believe the boxing community will be hearing a lot about this talent who is now fighting in the pros!
