Biography

edit

Dicaire was a standout karate practitioner, winning a Canadian championship at 11 and a world championship at 18, before turning to boxing where she excelled as an amateur claiming Quebec and Canadian championships in 2013 before turning professional in 2015.[4]

She defeated Marisa Gabriela Núñez from Argentina by majority decision to claim the vacant NABF female super-welterweight title at the Montreal Casino in Montreal, Canada on February 15, 2018.[5]

Dicaire beat Uruguayan Chris Namús for the IBF female super-welterweight World title on December 1, 2018, at the Videotron Center in Quebec City, Canada, winning by unanimous decision.[6]

She successfully defended her title three times before facing fellow undefeated boxer and WBC and WBO super-welterweight champion Claressa Shields on March 5, 2021. The vacant WBA belt was also on the line. Shields won the contest in Flint, Michigan, USA, by unanimous decision.[7]

After Shields vacated the IBF title, Dicaire regained it by knocking out the previously unbeaten Cynthia Lozano in the seventh-round at the Bell Centre, Montreal, Canada, on 17 December 2021.[8]

On 12 November 2022, she once again attempted to become a unified World champion by facing WBC and WBO title holder Natasha Jonas in Manchester, England. Jonas won by unanimous decision.[9]

Dicaire announced her retirement from boxing in March 2023.[10]
