In what is a big week for female boxers, we take a look at the top 10 nicknames in women’s boxing right now…
1 the boss
“Il Capo,” or “The Boss,” was a nickname given to Chantelle Cameron by her trainer’s wife, Jamie Moore, and it does a decent job of describing the control she has both in the ring and in the gym, at who entered as Moore’s first female boxer in 2019.
2 Shell
The aggressive and relentless Jessica McCaskill lives up to her nickname and, in fact, has used her no-nonsense style to win every title at welterweight, having won her first world title as super lightweight.
3 Tyrannosaurus Rex/The GWOAT
Call me a purist, but I quite liked it when a young Claressa Shields was nicknamed “T-Rex” and chewed up the opposition. Today, of course, her confidence is so great that she calls herself the greatest woman of all time (GWOAT) and few would argue with that.
4 the bomb
Anyone who watched Alycia Baumgardner drop the proverbial bombshell on Terri Harper last year will understand why the American’s nickname makes perfect sense. In addition to blending in nicely with her last name, Baumgardner has shown, with seven knockouts in 12 wins, that she really can punch.
5 Super Bad
Undefeated in 22 professional fights, Seniesta Estrada is the WBA minimumweight belt holder and a fighter, according to her nickname and the James Brown song, so bad is good.
6 The Aztec Princess
Jackie Nava, the “Aztec princess,” is something of a hero in Tijuana, having flown around that part of Mexico since 2001, winning world titles at both bantamweight and super bantamweight. Now 42, she continues to ply her trade at the top.
7 Hannah the Banger
Scotland’s Hannah Rankin, current holder of the WBA super welterweight belt, might not be the world’s top knockout artist, but she has enough strength and stamina to make sure she impresses her opponent and is at the top of her game. height of his nickname.
8 The Diva of Heavy Knocks
The nickname Franchon Crews-Dezurn chooses to use in his professional career does exactly what it says on the tin. Known for his big personality, Crews-Dezurn also won his second pro fight in just 29 seconds.
9 Miss GB
Not the wittiest, nor the most intimidating, but Natasha Jonas’s nickname of “Miss GB” is noteworthy because it represents a nod to her amateur career, something many pros quickly forget once they’re out looking for money.
10 hawaiian punch lady
Casey Morton has fought all over the world in his professional career, from the United States and Mexico to the Philippines, China, Japan and France. However, he has never fought in Hawaii, his birthplace and also the inspiration behind his nickname in the ring.
