Vanessa Lepage-Joanisse (born 20 July 1995) is a Canadian professional boxer who held the WBC female heavyweight title from 7 March 2024 to 27 July 2024.

Professional boxing career

[edit]

Undefeated in her first three professional contests, Lepage-Joanisse unsuccessfully challenged Alejandra Jimenez for the World Boxing Council female World heavyweight title on 12 August 2017 losing by TKO in the third round.[2] After this defeat, Lepage-Joanisse stepped away from boxing for almost six years before making a comeback in March 2023. She became the WBC female heavyweight champion when she defeated Abril Vidal by split decision at the Montreal Casino on 7 March 2024.[3] [4]

Lepage-Joanisse agreed to defend her WBC heavyweight title against Claressa Shields at Little Caesars Arena in Detroit, Michigan on July 27, 2024.[5] The bout was contested at 175 lbs with the vacant WBO light heavyweight belt also on the line.[6] Lepage-Joanisse was dropped three times in the second round and lost the fight via technical knockout.[7][8]
