Ann Wolfe: The Hardest Puncher in Women’s Boxing

The charismatic Ann Wolfe was a force of nature in professional boxing as she devastated the women’s rankings in multiple weight divisions.

Ann “Brown Sugar” Wolfe had a very brief amateur career as she fought under Billingsley and went 3-1, her sole loss being via disqualification.

Along the way she picked up the World Super Middleweight and World Super Welterweight titles of the International Female Boxing Association.

In addition to these titles, Ann Wolfe was also the Women’s International Boxing Association World Super Welterweight and World Light Heavyweight champion.

This path of dominance in women’s boxing established Ann Wolfe as one of the sport’s most powerful punchers and most powerful female boxer of all time.
