Ann Wolfe:
Wolfe endured a tough time in the early part of her life. She grew up in Oberlin, Louisiana and spent part of her childhood in Los Angeles. She moved from Oberlin to Austin Texas in 1996 with her two daughters. She was homeless and worked at a construction site before meeting her original trainer ‘Pops’ Billingsley.
An all-time great of the sport, Wolfe is considered as the hardest puncher in the history of women’s boxing by many. She made her professional debut by beating Brenda Lee Bell by a four-round decision.
She suffered only one loss during her illustrious career when she was knocked out in three rounds by Valerie Mahfood.
Wolfe beat Vienna Williams by a ten round decision to win her first world title, the IFBA Jr. Middleweight title. She beat Gina Nicholas by knockout in three to win the vacant WIBA Light Middleweight title. She then proceeded to beat Shirvelle Williams by knockout in one round on a non-title bout.
Next was the vacant IFBA world Super Middleweight title, which she won by knocking out Marsha Valley in six rounds. Wolfe then went on to beat Valley again to win the vacant WIBC’s version of the title. She avenged her defeat against Mahfood by beating her to win the NABA World Super Middleweight Championship.
