**Tammara Thibeault Prepares for Next Pro Fight at Madison Square Garden**
Tammara "Tamm" Thibeault, a two-time Olympian and world amateur champion, is gearing up for her next professional boxing bout in September. The Canadian boxer, who joined Most Valuable Promotions (MVP) in December 2023, will make her return to the ring with the aim of accumulating a few more rounds as a pro.
Thibeault's amateur career was nothing short of impressive. She won a world amateur title in 2022 and secured gold medals at the 2022 Commonwealth Games, solidifying her position as a top amateur boxer. However, a loss in an amateur bout against Cindy Ngamba, who won by a 3:2 split decision, serves as a reminder of the competitive landscape Thibeault navigates.
Thibeault made her professional debut in late 2023 or early 2024 and has already recorded two knockout victories. Her second knockout came by pouring on the pressure after her opponent reacted to a body shot.
Thibeault's upcoming fight is part of an all-female card at Madison Square Garden, which is significant for its inclusion in setting a Guinness World Record for the most world championship belts contested on a single card. The specific details about Thibeault's opponent or the championship status of her bout are not yet available.
Thibeault, who is now the mandatory challenger for the WBA title, appreciates the slower pace of professional boxing, which allows for phases of skill acquisition and volume to reach peak performance. She is ranked number one by the IBF and WBC.
The fighter, who is currently "in a good place" after learning from her surprising first-round defeat at the Paris Olympics, wore a shirt with the Hawaiian word "Ohana" - meaning "Family" - written in large letters as a tribute to her family during her latest professional boxing match, which took place at the legendary Madison Square Garden.
Thibeault stuck to the game plan during the fight and sent her opponent, Mary Casamassa, to the canvas in the first round. The referee stopped the bout in the fifth round as Thibeault landed blow after blow on her opponent, securing her third consecutive win by knockout.
Thibeault believes her defeat in Paris made her more resilient and helped her find joy in her sport again. The fight took place in front of Thibeault's family, who had traveled to New York to support her. Thibeault handled herself well in the hours leading up to the fight, enjoying the moments leading up to the highly anticipated event.
Thibeault is set to complete her master's in urban planning at Sheffield, England, in the coming weeks, but her focus remains on her boxing career. Her next fight is expected to be a world championship bout a few months after her return to the ring.
Tammara Thibeault, in preparation for her next professional fight, aims to accumulate a few more rounds as a pro, showcasing her dedication to boxing, her chosen sport.
The all-female card at Madison Square Garden, where Thibeault will fight, is significant for its attempt to break the Guinness World Record for the most world championship belts contested on a single card, further underscoring the prominent role of sports in this event.
