Raquel Elizabeth Miller (born February 15, 1985) is an American professional boxer who has held the WBA interim female super-welterweight title since 2019. As an amateur she won a silver medal in the welterweight category at the 2012 AIBA Women's World Boxing Championships.
Career
[edit]Miller won a silver medal at the 2012 AIBA Women's World Boxing Championships in Qinhuangdao, China. She recorded victories over Daena Stephenson of New Zealand, Canada's Myriam Da Silva, Turkish boxer Bilgehan Karabulut and Irina Poteyeva from Russia before losing to Ukraine's Maria Badulina in the final.[2][3]
She made her professional debut on May 21, 2016, scoring a first-round technical knockout over Sara Flores at the Richmond Memorial Auditorium in Richmond, California.[4]
Miller won the vacant NABF female middleweight title on 18 May 2019, stopping Erin Toughill in the seventh-round at Gardens Casino, Hawaiian Gardens, California. Toughill was knocked to the canvas after just 15 seconds of the opening round but recovered to battle on until round seven when she was dropped again and, despite beating the count, referee Zachary Young waved the fight off.[5][6]
Miller claimed the vacant interim WBA female super-welterweight World title with a unanimous decision success over Mexico's previously unbeaten Alma Ibarra at Videotron Centre, Quebec City, Canada. Two of the ringside judges scored the contest 98-92 with the third making it 99-91.[7][8][9]
