(APR 30) We spend a lot of time covering female
boxers that are currently in the sport and we talk about our pioneers and
trailblazers but it has been quite awhile since we have paid homage and tribute
to our female boxers who passed away. Some lost their lives directly to
the acute hazards of the ring, while others were taken tragically in their prime
outside of it.
Today, WBAN and the International Women's Boxing Hall of Fame (IWBHF)
honors a pledge to never let their names fade from memory. We would like to
remember any documented loss that we have on the female boxers who are no longer
with us.

in 2003 as the country's first female world champion. Her life was cut short in
2018 at the age of 44 due to cancer. She was inducted into the

Network from Spain came to the IWBHF event and shot footage of her induction
with her husband accepting the award and they did a documentary on Rosa about
her life and boxing career.
Stacy Young — A 30-year-old mother who entered a Florida "Toughman" boxing
competition in 2003. Her tragic passing after the bout served as a massive
catalyst for tighter safety regulations in unregulated combat sports.
Young a mother of two from Bradenton, Florida, whose death in June 2003 exposed
the lethal realities of unregulated, for-profit amateur fighting. Young had
attended a "Toughman" competition at the Robarts Arena in Sarasota, Florida, as
a spectator with her family. Her husband fought in a match that lasted less than
30 seconds. Later that evening, event organizers aggressively recruited Young
because the only other female entrant had no opponent. She agreed on a whim,
viewing it as a fun challenge. The Fatal Mismatch: Young weighed
approximately 240 pounds and was matched with a 20-year-old cake baker, Sarah
Kobie, who weighed about 60 pounds less. Despite the weight difference, Kobie
was heavily outclassing Young from the opening bell. Observers and family
members noted that Young was severely outmatched within the first 30 seconds.
Video footage later revealed the crowd shouting for the fight to be stopped. In
the third round, Young turned her back and attempted to walk toward her corner
to give up, but her opponent pursued her and delivered several final blows to
her head. Young collapsed and suffered a seizure in the ring in front of her
husband and young daughters.

future in elite boxing. She tragically lost her life at age 18 in 2019 when she
was struck by a train while walking home.Amina Bulakh was an 18-year-old

national team. Her life was tragically cut short in November 2019 due to a
devastating pedestrian-train accident. : Bulakh was the Ukrainian women's youth
champion and was viewed as one of the country's most promising young talents in
the sport. In September 2019, just two months before her passing,
she claimed a bronze medal at the European Youth Boxing Championships in Sofia,
Bulgaria.
On the evening of November 14, 2019, Bulakh was walking home from a local
pharmacy in her home village of Tarasivka, located just outside of Kyiv,
Ukraine.
Jasmine Marzo — A hard-working 23-year-old athlete who represented the Argentine
National Team. In 2018, she passed away suddenly due to a cardiac arrest shortly
before she was scheduled to travel for international training. Yazmín
Marzo (often spelled Yasmin or Jasmine) was a 23-year-old amateur boxing
standout from Villa María, Córdoba, who was widely considered one of the
brightest future stars of Argentine women's boxing. Marzo was a
highly skilled middleweight who earned a coveted spot on the Argentine National
Women's Boxing Team, affectionately known as "Las Toritas" (The Little Bulls).
Just a month before her passing, in November 2018, she represented Argentina on
the global stage at the AIBA Women's World Boxing Championships in New Delhi,
India. Marzo was heavily dedicated to her future outside of combat sports
and was studying to become a physical education teacher. Her ultimate athletic
dream was to become a professional world champion. On the night of Friday,
December 28, 2018, Marzo's mother found her having severe seizures in her bed at
their family home in Villa María. Her sudden death sent massive shockwaves
through the Argentine sports community. Both the Córdoba Boxing Federation and
the broader Argentine boxing scene publicly mourned the loss of a remarkably
dedicated, hard-working athlete whose life and Olympic-cycle aspirations were
cut tragically short.
Leighandre "Baby Lee" Jegels — An undefeated South African professional champion
holding a flawless 9-0 record. Her life was violently taken in a tragic act of
domestic violence in 2019, heavily impacting fighters worldwide. Leighandre
"Baby Lee" Jegels was a phenomenal 25-year-old South African athlete who
dominated in both karate and professional boxing. Her brutal murder in August
2019 by an estranged partner became a prominent symbol of South Africa's severe
epidemic of Gender-Based Violence (GBV). Long before her boxing fame,
Jegels was a highly accomplished karateka. She held a black belt and was crowned
the South African national karate champion for four consecutive years (2009 to
2012). After crossing over to professional boxing, she amassed an
undefeated record of 9-0 with 7 knockouts. She held both the South African
Junior Bantamweight Title and the WBA Pan African Junior Bantamweight Title.
While boxing politics temporarily stalled her scheduled international bouts,
Jegels focused on her education and successfully earned a Bachelor of Science
degree from the University of Fort Hare. At the time of her death, she was
preparing for a highly anticipated October comeback fight. Behind
her strong public exterior, Jegels was trapped in a highly abusive relationship
with her estranged boyfriend, Bulelani Manyakama. He isolated her and subjected
her to physical and financial control. Her protection order ultimately
failed to save her because her abuser was an active-duty police sergeant in the
South African Police Service's (SAPS) elite Tactical Response Team. On
August 30, 2019, while Jegels and her mother were driving to the boxing gym in
Mdantsane, Manyakama intercepted them. He opened fire, shooting Jegels multiple
times and killing her instantly. He also shot and critically injured her mother,
who narrowly survived the attack. After fleeing the scene, the killer
crashed his vehicle head-on into another car while attempting to evade
authorities. He died in the hospital a few days later from his injuries, leaving
the family without a criminal trial.
Amanda Lyons — A 20-year-old amateur boxer with an insatiable hunger for the
ring. Known for always asking to fight the toughest opponents possible despite
her short time in the sport, her life was cut tragically short outside of
competition. While she is sometimes remembered as an amateur because of
her short time in the sport (less than a year), she had actually transitioned to
professional fighting in the months leading up to her passing. Her promising
future was cut short outside of the ring on Sunday, August 26, 2007. At
approximately 1:30 a.m., Lyons was killed in a tragic vehicle accident in her
hometown of Conway, Arkansas. : She had completed four professional bouts
in the 2007 calendar year before her passing. Her sudden death deeply saddened
local promoters, athletes, and the Arkansas boxing community, who remembered her
for her unmatched hustle and massive heart.
Ana Victoria Polo — A professional fighter from Mexico City with 15 professional
bouts to her name. She fought bravely until her final days, passing away from
cancer in 2022 at the age of 37. Polo competed in the super
flyweight and light flyweight divisions, finishing her career with a
professional record of 8 wins and 7 losses (8-7-0) across 15 bouts. Her
skill and grit earned her the opportunity to fight for a world title twice in
her career. In 2016, she traveled to Costa Rica to fight Yokasta Valle for the
IBF world title. Later in 2019, she faced off against Yesenia Gómez for the WBC
light flyweight world title. Her final professional match took place on
August 27, 2021, where she fought a highly competitive match against Diana
Fernández, ultimately losing by a narrow split decision. Not long after her
final bout in 2021, Polo was diagnosed with breast cancer. Despite undergoing
months of treatment and showing the same fighter's spirit she displayed in the
ring, Polo passed away on October 10, 2022, at the age of 37.
Olga Domuladzhanova — A dominant heavyweight pioneer for Russian amateur boxing.
She won the heavyweight gold medal at the 2001 Women's World Amateur Boxing
Championships. She passed away in 2021 at the age of 52. Olga
Domuladzhanova was a monumental figure and a true heavyweight pioneer in Russian
amateur boxing whose physical prowess was matched by her dedication to athlete
development. Domuladzhanova reached the absolute pinnacle of her
sport at the inaugural 2001 Women's World Amateur Boxing Championships in
Scranton, Pennsylvania. She claimed the gold medal in the under-81 kg light
heavyweight division.
For the final 12 years of her life, Domuladzhanova served as the director of the
Ozero Krugloye training center in the Moscow region. This was a highly critical
facility responsible for training Russia's elite Olympic sports teams.
Domuladzhanova passed away suddenly on May 14, 2021, at the age of 52. The
Russian Boxing Federation confirmed that her untimely death followed severe
health complications caused by a battle with COVID-19. Her passing was mourned
across Europe as the loss of an irreplaceable trailblazer for women in the fight
game.
Rosi Reed — A pioneer fighter from the 1980s who braved the era where women had
to fight tooth and nail just to get sanctioned. She passed away in recent years
at the age of 71. Rosetta Naddine "Rosi" Reed was a groundbreaking 1970s
and 1980s boxing pioneer from Bakersfield, California, whose life was defined by
an almost superhuman level of versatility and determination. In
1976, Reed became one of the very first documented amateur female boxers in
California. At a time when athletic commissions fiercely resisted sanctioning
women's bouts, she had to pass a written test in Los Angeles just to get her
license. On May 30, 1980, Reed fought at Strongbow Stadium in
Bakersfield for the Women's Boxing Board (WBB) World Flyweight Championship. She
faced top contender Bonnie Prestwood and knocked her out in the sixth round to
claim the world title. Deciding to pivot to a completely new career later
in life, she earned her Juris Doctorate in 1997 and opened a highly successful
law practice in 2001. She credited the intense discipline she learned in the
boxing gym with helping her survive the grueling study hours required to pass
the bar exam. Reed passed away on October 21, 2021, at the age of 71 due
to severe complications from COVID-19. She left behind a vast family, including
her husband, 4 children, 10 grandchildren, and 9 great-grandchildren, as well as
a lasting legacy in the Women's Boxing Hall of Fame circles.
JoAnn Hagen (born Jo-Ann Verhaegen) — Known as the
"Bashing Blonde from South Bend". She was famously recruited by boxing promoter
Johnny Nate after she punched a male co-worker at the Bendix manufacturing plant
for making uninvited advances. Hagen went on to become the only female to ever
defeat the legendary Barbara Buttrick in front of 1,200 fans in 1,954. She
retired in 1956 and later joined the Marine Corps before passing away in 2004 at
the age of 73. Hagen passed away on February 5, 2004, at the age of 73
after battling declining health JoAnn Hagen - Wikipedia JOANN HAGEN - 2014
INTERNATIONAL WOMEN'S BOXING HALL .... Her massive footprint on the sport was
solidified when she was inducted posthumously as part of the inaugural class of
the International Women's Boxing Hall of Fame in 2014 Jo-Ann Hagen - Trivia -
IMDb.
Phyllis Kugler — Motivated by seeing her friend
Hagen in the gym, Kugler forced her way into the sport in 1955. She secured
world titles across three weight classes and held an astonishing reported record
of 55-1-1. She famously went head-to-head with Barbara Buttrick in Texas's first
sanctioned women's championship match in 1957. After retiring at just 22 to
marry her husband, she eventually earned a degree in psychology. She passed away
in March 2014 at the age of 77. In 1955, Kugler was working at a
South Bend bowling alley with her close friend, JoAnn Hagen. After watching
Hagen train and thrive in the sport, Kugler pushed hard to join her at the gym.
Winning Over the Skeptics: Promoter and trainer Johnny Nate initially advised
against taking her on. He changed his mind after witnessing her pure tenacity
and her remarkable ability to absorb heavy punches from Hagen during sparring.
The "Phil" Disguise: Much like Hagen, Johnny Nate would often book her on local
fight cards simply as "Phil Kugler" to keep commission inspectors and skeptical
arena owners in the dark until she stepped through the ropes. Capitalizing
on her success and striking looks, promoters labeled her "Woman Boxer of the
Year" and "Boxing's Beauty Queen" in 1957. She showcased her skills nationally
on prime-time television, including The Steve Allen Show and What's My Line?.
She would frequently perform a crowd-pleasing routine of hitting a speed bag for
15 straight minutes while completely blindfolded. An Ultimatum: In 1959, at the
prime of her fighting career at age 22, Kugler retired from the sport. She later
revealed that her first husband had given her an ultimatum to choose between
boxing or marriage. A Brilliant Pivot: Showing she had a heavy punch and a
heavy brain, Kugler later went to college, earned a degree in psychology, and
dedicated a portion of her life to working in a psychiatric hospital. Her
Passing: Kugler passed away on March 6, 2014, at the age of 77 in Arizona. She
was posthumously inducted into the International Women's Boxing Hall of Fame in
2015.
Pat Emerick — Fighting under
the name Pat, she squared off against JoAnn Hagen in 1949 for a title match in
Iowa. Tragically, in 1950, her promising fighting career was cut short by a
severe vehicle accident. Though she survived because of her peak athletic
conditioning, she required seven operations. She lived a rich, full life, giving
birth to 11 children, before passing away in her sleep in August 2024 at the age
of 93. Pat was inducted into the International Women's Boxing Hall of Fame
in 2019. Pat was the second oldest living inductee that had been inducted
in the IWBHF. In 2020, the IWBHF asked her to be the official model for
modeling the IWBHF T-shirts for the following year.
Flor María "La Tyson" Delgado
-The first
Colombian woman to win a professional world boxing title. She won the WIBA and
UBC heavyweight world title in August 2000 by defeating the Colombian-Venezuelan
María "La Catira" Carranza by technical knockout (abandonment) in the fourth
round. She made a successful defense in 2001 by defeating the Dominican Mariana
"La Fiera" García by technical knockout in the sixth round, both fights at the
El Pueblo Gym in Buenaventura. She left for posterity an undefeated record of
12-0-0, with 12 knockouts.
Flor Maria Delgado was the very first WIBA World Champion. The Location: Delgado
passed away in Ecuador, where she had been living for a period of time.

hometown of Buenaventura and the broader Colombian boxing community, who
remember her as an absolute icon of the port city's athletic history.
Alejandra
“Locomotora” Oliveras - Alejandra “Locomotora” Oliveras passed away today at the
age of 47. The Argentine fighter had a remarkable boxing career, becoming a
multiple-time world champion. In May 2006, she knocked out Jackie Nava to become
the WBC super bantamweight world champion—a title she successfully defended
three times. She held the WBC featherweight world title from 2012 to 2013. That
same year, she stopped Lely Luz Flores in seven rounds to capture the WBC super
lightweight world championship. Alejandra retired from professional boxing in
2017. Outside the ring, she found a new way to inspire others. She built a
community on social media where she shared motivational messages, especially
aimed at women, people in vulnerable situations, and those who felt alone. Her
words were often intertwined with boxing themes. At the World Boxing Council, we
deeply mourn the loss of our champion. Her legacy will live on in our minds and
hearts.
Karen Bennett

boxer, who passed away last year in 2024. I was just notified of this

stories on Bennett - I will post links on Bennett in the comments section.
Lilly Rodriguez (born Lilly Urquidez)
was a fierce, barrier-breaking multi-sport combat
athlete from Los Angeles. Widely recognized as one of the elite female fighters
of the 1970s and 1980s, her ferocious skill across boxing, full-contact karate,
and kickboxing carved a path for women in modern combat sports. During her
debut professional boxing match in the 1970s against the famous Marian "Lady
Tiger" Trimiar, Rodriguez was so desperate to make weight that she famously
stuffed quarters into her socks and undergarments to get closer to the heavier
Trimiar's weight class. She lost the bout on a decision, but her grit was
officially on the map. In 1976, she captured the women's
featherweight boxing championship. The very next year, in 1977, she secured the
women's featherweight kickboxing title. She went on to hold a rare and historic
simultaneous status as a world champion across point karate, boxing, and
kickboxing. On November 16, 1979, Rodriguez and her husband, William "Blinky"
Rodriguez, made combat sports history at the Great Western Forum in Inglewood.
They became the first husband and wife to box on the exact same professional
card. Lilly Rodriguez passed away on January 13, 2007, at the age of 59.
Rodriguez died at the UCLA Medical Center due to complications from an infection
that triggered renal (kidney) failure following a surgery. she reportedly
rebounded from near-death conditions six different times during her final
medical struggle before ultimately succumbing.
Shelby Walker was a
charismatic pioneer in both women's professional boxing and mixed martial arts (MMA).
Her death in 2006 at the age of 31 is widely attributed to an apparent
accidental drug overdose of pain medication rather than a confirmed suicide,
though she was open about her struggles with personal demons. Born Shelby Rogers
in Kingsville, Texas, she served five total years in the active duty and
reserves of the United States Army before pursuing a fighting career. The
Incident: On Saturday, September 24, 2006, Walker was found dead in her Fort
Lauderdale, Florida.
Ashley Nichols an indigenous fighter, world champion, and inspiration to many
in her community. Ashley had an impressive fight career, winning multiple titles

Ontario, Ashley was also named a national aboriginal role model by the National
Aboriginal Health Organization in 2012.
