Yvonne Caples

Yvonne Caples (born June 14, 1972) is a women's boxing champion. She was born in Pune, India, country where she has helped raise the sport's popularity.

Caples lives in Las Vegas, where she trains under the tutelage of former men's world Heavyweight title challenger Leroy Caldwell .

Caples attends the University of California, Berkeley when she is not preparing for a fight. She hopes to become a medical doctor in sports medicine, and she has a B.A. in English, also obtained at that institution. She also performs as a high school English teacher.

Caples became a professional boxer in 1999. Before fighting for the world championship, she had to meet the likes of Kim Messer , Elena Reid and former world champion Para Draine before meeting Regina Halmich for the WIBF world Jr. Flyweight title, on August 17, 2002. She lost the fight by a majority decision, although it shall be pointed out that some fans showed dissaprovement with the fight's decision by booing and whistling. This fight took place in Germany.

Three months later, on November 22, she found herself inside a boxing ring in Guam, where she fought Anissa Zamarron for the vacant WIBA world Jr. Flyweight championship, and she was defeated by knockout in round five.

Caples finally reached her dream of becoming a world champion when she defeated Mary Duron on July 26, 2003 in Costa Mesa, California by a ten round unanimous decision for the vacant IFBA world Jr. Flyweight title.
