Former World Boxing Champion Kara Ro took a moment to hang out with boxers from across the province who are in Windsor for a Boxing Ontario Female Development Camp. "What Boxing Ontario and Border City Boxing has done with this training camp to compete in Toledo is brilliant."

The boxers will head to Toledo, Ohio for the USA Boxing National Women's Championships this weekend. "Not only will these fighters have the opportunity to train and spar with several other women (which is the best preparation to compete against woman), the team atmosphere they have created will build so much camaraderie they will walk into this tournament feeling so supported and lifted they can’t lose." said Ro who was a guest speaker Wednesday at St. Clair College.

With a career 18-0 record, Ro shared some insight on being stronger in the ring. "Basically don’t get discouraged by set backs (injuries, loses, fights that fall through, negative people/criticism etc) that is your time to pivot and use it as fuel to be even greater."

Ro will be coaching and announcing at Motor City Cage Night at the Motor City Casino in Detroit August 11th.
