A Statement of Dominance
The build-up to the fight was charged with tension.

Looking Toward the Future
Standing in the ring at the Caribe Royale with multiple belts draped over her shoulders, Thibeault expressed her gratitude and her hunger for more. “I work really hard and I put my head down. I don’t talk much, but I get the job done,” she stated. When asked about the weight of the belts, she smiled and added, “They are a bit heavy, but I love it. I want more.”
With the boxing world now firmly aware of her capabilities, Thibeault has transitioned from a rising prospect to the woman to beat in the middleweight division. For fans of women’s boxing, the era of Tammara Thibeault has officially begun.
