The boxing career is coming to an end for this wonderful person, Marie-Ève Dicaire, who brought a breath of fresh air to Quebec boxing. She was an all-around athlete who played hockey up to the midget level with the guys, baseball, volleyball, and she holds a 5 black belte Dan in karate. On two occasions, she won the IBF super welterweight belt. Without a doubt a well-deserved retirement!

Marie-Ève Dicaire paved the way for Kim Clavel, holder of the NABF North American championship and the WBC world title, and for Caroline Veyre, gold medalist in the women’s lightweight category at the 2015 Pan American Games and member of the Canadian team at the 2020 Summer Olympics.
