Local female boxer Danyelle Wolf \u2014 whose meteoric rise in the boxing world was featured in the Beach & Bay Press on May 12, 2011 \u2014 gave us an update on her recent accomplishments and her ongoing goal to make it to the 2016 Olympics in Brazil.
\nWhen we last spoke, Wolf had only been seriously boxing for a couple years but was gaining a reputation on the female boxing circuit as a major contender. Her reputation, however, worked against her as other boxers refused to fight her, especially after they would see her 6-foot frame and strong physique. At the time, she had only been able to schedule four fights \u2014 all of which she had won.
\nThings have turned around, however, Wolf said. She recently returned from Venezuela, where she won the welterweight division at the Continental Championships, which featured top female athletes from North, Central and South America. Before that, she won her division at the USA Boxing National Championships and was invited to join Team USA. She has been visiting training camps, including at the Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs and has been meeting with sports management companies and sponsors.
\n“I\u2019m shopping management right now, updating my website, meeting with a lot of big names,” she said. “I met with a lot of people in the [United States Olympic Committee] in Colorado. There have been some crazy good things happening.”
\nWolf, a Pacific Beach resident, isn\u2019t slowing down, either. She\u2019s hoping to attend the Women\u2019s Golden Gloves National Championships in Florida next month, after which she\u2019ll travel to Finland, Ukraine and China with Team USA. Between that, she\u2019s hoping to attend several national tournaments, though her biggest obstacle at the moment is funding.
\n“There are still a lot of tournaments that I have to pay to attend,” she said. “I\u2019m hoping to get sponsors to help with some of that.”
\nMeanwhile, she\u2019ll be featured in Pacific Magazine in July, meet with investors and potential sponsors and keep training hard every day to meet her goal.
