Marie-Eve Dicaire has been implicated in the fighting sports since her youngest age.<\/strong><\/p>\n

At the age of 6, karate grabbed her attention. She will earn her black belt and become a Canadian champion before she turns 11. 18 years old, she became a karate world champion<\/strong>, a title she would achieve five times.<\/p>\n

She will also earn a place on the US NASKA network with the Amerikick team.<\/p>\n

Fifth dan black belt and owner of a dojo (Karate Sunfuki) for a few years, Dicaire then made the jump into the ring, but first in kickboxing, where she is undefeated (one win and one draw).<\/p>\n

In amateur boxing, Dicaire has delivered around fifty fights in just over three and a half years.<\/p>\n

She had her best year in 2013, where she won the Quebec Championship<\/strong>, the Canadian Championship<\/strong> and the Ringside tournament<\/strong>, in addition to a victory against the American champion in an international meeting between Canada and the United States. Boxe Quebec also awarded her the title of Athlete of the Year<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The Saint-Eustache fighter became a professional boxer on November 20, 2015 in Sorel-Tracy. She then defeated Manitoban Christina Barry<\/strong> by unanimous decision.<\/p>\n

At her fourteenth fight, she became the first Quebec woman to win a world title, thanks to a superb performance against Uruguayan Chris Namus<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Three victorious defenses set her up for the ultimate unification of titles clash with world\u2019s best pound-for-pound boxer Claressa Shields<\/strong>. This fight was broadcasted live on pay-per-view television in the United States, a first in twenty years! <\/p>\n

Stripped of her world title despite a brave fight, she wasted no time regaining her place on the throne of champions. The best is yet to come. <\/p>\n

Receiving the medal from the National Assembly in 2019 remains one of her fondest memories.  <\/p>\n

She won the IBF World Super-Welterweight belt in December 2018 and became the first Quebec champion to ever to achieve the feat.<\/p>\n
