Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Other people Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Infobox martial artist Daniella Smith (born 30 July 1972, in Kaikohe, New Zealand) is a New Zealand former professional boxer. She became the first female fighter to win an IBF title,[1] having held the welterweight version from 2010 to 2011, and is the third New Zealand-born person to win a boxing world title, after Torpedo Bill Murphy (1890) and Joseph Parker in 2016 with World Boxing Organisation. Smith is also ranked pound-for-pound number one in New Zealand of all time in the Women's division.
Amateur career
In 1999, Smith started her career as an amateur. In a space of six years, she has fought in forty fights, winning multiple titles including the gold at the national championships four times. She also competed in the 2002 World Championships in Turkey, and even though she was not successful in winning a medal, she still won a gold medal in 2004 at the Oceania Games.[2]
Professional career
In 2005 Smith made her pro debut against World Kicking Champion Sue Glassey. In 2006, Smith won against Glassey for the second time, but this time to capture her first pro boxing title (vacant NZPBA Women's light middleweight title). In 2010, Smith fought for the first time as a pro outside New Zealand, winning against Jennifer Retzke in Germany and becoming the first International Boxing Federation Women's World Champion. Smith defended her title against Noni Tenge in South Africa seven months after winning the title but lost the bout. In 2013 Smith attempted to capture her second world title against Arlene Blencowe for the vacant Women's International Boxing Association World Super lightweight title and the vacant World Boxing Federation female welterweight title, but Smith was unsuccessful in capturing the titles.[3] In 2014, Smith fought her last fight against Gentiane Lupi. This is the second time that Smith has fought Lupi, but this time for the vacant NZPBA women's lightweight title, but Smith was unsuccessful.[4] Smith also trains corporate and amateur boxers. On 31 January 2023, it was announced that Daniella Smith will be inducted into the 2024 International Women's Boxing Hall of Fame. The induction will happen between the 6th and 7th of October 2023.[5]
