In addition to her remarkable achievements in the ring, Amanda Galle exemplifies a profound dedication to philanthropy

Beyond her undefeated record of 9-0 and standing as Canada’s top Professional Bantamweight boxer, Amanda’s most impactful bouts are fought outside the ring. Honouring her mother’s memory, she tirelessly champions the Fight To End Cancer, dedicating her time and energy to charitable endeavours.

This year, amidst her remarkable sporting journey, Amanda achieved a historic milestone by clinching the inaugural World Title in the IBO Bantamweight category, solidifying her status as the first female to claim the prestigious title of IBO World Champion.

Despite Amanda’s demanding schedule training for her professional boxing career, she still manages to dedicate time to a cause that hits close to home. Amanda embodies perseverance in the face of unimaginable challenges. In 2022, the same year she achieved her status as an indomitable champion, Amanda experienced the most profound personal loss: the passing of her mother.

Throughout this ordeal, Amanda channeled her mother’s tenacity into her training, maintaining an unbroken reign of victories inside the ring. Tragically, in March 2022, Amanda’s mother’s eight-year battle with cancer came to an end. While she lost her mother physically, she has found an outlet through which she can continue to honor her mother’s legacy.

Her KO Cancer Bootcamp not only engages the community in supporting cancer research but is also held on the anniversary of her mother’s passing, serving as a poignant reminder of the importance of continuing her fight.

Amanda’s Year of Triumphs and Achievements

Amanda Galle, The New IBO World Champion, Exceeds Fundraising Goals and Gears Up for a Knockout Year in 2024

Amanda Galle stands as Canada’s leading Professional Bantamweight boxer, boasting an undefeated record of 9-0 and presently holding the #1 rank in her division. In a remarkable achievement, Amanda secured her inaugural World Title in the IBO Bantamweight category this year, marking her as the first female to bring home the IBO World Champion Title.

Earlier this year, Amanda Galle from Mississauga, Ontario, Canada, secured the IBO Bantamweight World Title by defeating Niorkis Carreno from Trujillo, Venezuela. The bout took place at Rebel Entertainment Complex in Toronto, with Galle emerging victorious by unanimous decision with tallies of 98-92, 97-93, and 96-94. The event was promoted by Lee Baxter Promotions, who co-promotes Galle alongside DiBella Entertainment. With a current record of 9-0-1 (1 KO), Galle showcased her exceptional footwork, angles, and speed to outbox the experienced Carreno, who, with a record of 24-4 (19 KOs), had previously challenged for world titles three times.

“I’m on a mission to be what I am destined to be. I’m now the new IBO World Bantamweight Champion,” said Galle. “The ultimate goal for me is being the undisputed bantamweight world champion. I am made for this. I am now reaping the rewards for all of my dedication and hard work in boxing for the past 16 years. Everything beforehand prepared me for this moment and whatever is to come ahead.”

Before transitioning to the professional arena, Amanda asserted her dominance in the amateur circuit, amassing a remarkable collection of accolades. Her achievements include securing the title of 3-time Canadian National Champion, representing Team Canada in 2014 and 2018, clinching the 4-time Ringside World Boxing Champion title, and earning the prestigious recognition of Boxing Ontario’s 2012 Female Athlete of the Year.

Despite the demands of her busy professional boxing career, Amanda Galle seamlessly integrates the Fight To End Cancer into her daily life, demonstrating her ongoing commitment to a fight that has significantly impacted her life.

During Breast Cancer Awareness month, Amanda and her team successfully raised $2,500 for the Fight To End Cancer through their gym’s PINK initiative. As part of this campaign, gym members had the opportunity to contribute by purchasing a pink belt throughout the month, with all proceeds directed to the Princess Margaret Cancer Foundation. Amanda’s dedication and passion not only surpassed her initial fundraising goal of $1000 but also served as a source of inspiration, rallying numerous individuals to join her in the ongoing Fight To End Cancer.

Amanda’s dedication to ending cancer transcends the confines of designated awareness months. Her ongoing initiative, the “KO Cancer Bootcamp,” not only raises critical funds but also serves as a platform for increased awareness. Complementing this, Amanda extends her support into the boxing ring itself, donning the FTEC Logo on her shorts, not only raising awareness but also inspiring hope.

Her tireless efforts underscore a year-round commitment to the Fight To End Cancer, illustrating an unwavering resolve to bring an end to cancer in our lifetime. Amanda’s multifaceted approach showcases her passion and determination to make a meaningful impact with critical funds directly benefitting The Princess Margaret Cancer Foundation.

Amanda Galle’s Fight To End Cancer.

Amanda is the embodiment of perseverance in the face of unthinkable obstacles.  She achieved her status as an indominable Champion in 2022, the same year that she suffered the most profound personal loss, the loss of her mother.

Nine years earlier, in October 2013, Amanda’s beloved mother, Nicolina, had been diagnosed with stage 3 breast cancer.  Within months of that diagnosis, Nicolina had a mastectomy and 20 lymph nodes removed from her right breast.  After surgery, a serious of debilitating chemotherapy treatments followed.   Nicolina faced them all with courage, and unrelenting hope.  Yet her battle with cancer persisted, making even day-to-day activities such as walking  was a real challenge for her.  Every day, Amanda chanelled her mother’s tenacity into her training, and her unbroken reign of matches inside the ring.  But tragically, in March 2022, Amanda’s mother’s 8 year battle with cancer came to an end.

What motivates Amanda to keep fighting? Her mother!

“My incentive to continue fighting was that my mother was my life, I put her first always, that was part of how I lived!  I needed to continue to have life after her death!”

2022 was Amanda’s most active year in her fighting career, with 4 fights in 13 Months.  Her wins launched her toward becoming the #1 ranked Professional in Canada, and claiming the Canadian super bantamweight title!

“2022 I was truly tested inside and outside the ring, but if I can carry on my mother’s legacy, she was all grit no quit, that is more than enough, so here I am still standing and ready to be more triumphant in 2023. It’s all winning from here!”

Beyond being an incredibly strong individual fighter, Amanda Galle is a proud ambassador of the Fight To End Cancer. She has taken up the collective fight for all those who have suffered from this horrible disease, including her own mother, Nicolina Galle. Amanda has never fallen short in her efforts to raise funds towards cancer research and to advocate for awareness and support for cancer patients.

“When I am asked what the term cancer means to me, I say to you it is responsible for the loss of my loved ones, including my mother.

The term cancer has caused opponents that I have faced to take recognition in defeating me in that ring, but it was not my opponents that beat me, it was the cancer around me.  The support I have extended to my family over and over has consumed so much of me.

The term cancer is the reason I train physically 2- 4 hours every day, to better myself mentally!  I physically fight with my two hands.  Everything my mother had to go through physically, emotionally, and spiritually, that I cannot overcome and fight for her, i put into my fight to end cancer.

So, I do this in honour of her.  I do this to execute the rage I feel.  I do this to be stable enough to endure it all, and most of all I do this in honour of those that it has defeated.”
