Career
Michele Aboro, along with her countrywoman Michelle Sutcliffe and with German Regina Halmich, has become an important figure in European women"s boxing, helping raise awareness about female participation on this, traditionally male sport, in Europe. As a matter of a fact, her first three professional fights were held in different European countries (Belgium, Italy and Hungary) and they were all first round knockout wins for Aboro. Then came Downtown Leona Brown"s challenge.
After two, non-title wins, she faced the highly touted contender Kelsey Jeffries, who had 10 wins and only 2 losses coming into their bout, for her second world championship defence.
On 24 November that year she beat Nadia Debras, who she had previously beaten, by a ten round decision, to retain her world title for the third time. Aboro has not officially announced her retirement.
