Bio
Defying the
odds with a
decision to turn
professional at a late age,
Stephanie Van Zandwyk is one
of a
handful of female
professional
boxers in Canada. She
is passionate about healthy
lifestyles, pushing the
limits
and chasing your
dreams.
Stephanies
dedication to
the
sport
of boxing had lead her
to
volunteer, inspiring and
empowering
countless women
with the
womens boxfit classes that
she has
created and
currently teaches
at her training gym.
Her
international
efforts
have
brought
media
attention
to the
collection
and donation of
equipment
to a
boxing
club in
Cuba.
She has received and
accepted
invitations to speak
in
front
of
Cuban delegates
about these efforts.
Stephanie
continues to
pursue
this
program
to include
other
developing nations. She
will
accomplish
this with the
help
of her teamates, coaches,
trainers
and
manager.
Challenging
convention
with
her
age,
small
stature and a over
a
decade of
vegetarian diet, she
is a
unique
and
memorable
figure in the
world
of
professional
sports.

MAY 18, 2009
Niagara Falls,
ON
Training continues and things looked like they were coming together for this determined fighter. A small complication with her eyes has once again held up sparring for Stephanie. This issue has been settled and she is hoping to get back in the ring before the month is out. In the meantime, Stephanie continues to enjoy training alongside her team mates, both professional and amateur alike.
SEPTEMBER 19, 2008
Toronto,
ON
Stephanie Van Zandwyk opts to have laser eye surgery to correct her vision. This will put pro boxing on hold for a minimum of six months. Training is held up completely for a short period of time but, she is back at it full on (sans sparring) six weeks later. Determined to get back into shape and ready to fight in the second half of the 2009 season.
JANUARY 1, 2008
Niagara Falls,
ON
Ron Gallen and Stephanie Van Zandwyk decide to leave the amateur ranks to turn professional. The licence comes through with no problems and Niagara Falls Boxing Club has it's first licenced female professional boxer. With no match ups on the horizon Stephanie continues to train as a pro boxer throughout 2008. There were a few offers to get in the ring at welterweight and lightweight but, that would have been quite impossible for this junior flyweight boxer.
