5'5" Jaime "Hurricane" Clampitt was born on 8 July 1976 in Gravelbourg, Saskatchewan, Canada and has since lived in Calgary, Alberta and in Narrangansett, Rhode Island.   Jaime began her boxing career at age 16 as an amateur at the Regina Boxing Club in Saskatchewan. She later boxed out of Calgary's Inner-City Club where she was trained by John Rajala.

She began boxing after getting bored with gymnastics after eight years of training. "My mother told me to flip through the yellow pages of the phone book, and pick a sport. The first one I came to was boxing, so I told her I wanted to do it." No one took her seriously, but her father brought her to the local boxing gym, not expecting her to last through the day. He was mistaken!

At the first annual Ken Goff Memorial Boxing Classic on February 4, 1994 at the Queensbury Downs in Regina, Jaime (135 lbs), then of the Regina Boxing Club, won a unanimous decision over Dayna Sanderson of the Saskatoon Boxing Club. Sanderson had been named 1994 Saskatchewan Female Boxer of the Year.

In the third annual Ken Goff Boxing Classic on April 19, 1996 at Regina's Centre of the Arts, future IBA junior bantamweight world champion Kathy Williams of Thunder Bay, Ontario won a split decision over Jaime in a 60-kg bout.

Jaime won the Canadian national 60-kg (lightweight) championship in 1997, then traveled to Europe with the national team for two ground-breaking  international meets.

In a Sweden vs. Canada Dual meet held in Gothenburg, Sweden on May 4, 1997, Clampitt was edged out in a 60-kg bout by Sweden's Josefin Carlsson by a 14-13 margin.

Jaime went on to win her bout in the Finland vs. Canada Dual Meet in Tampere, Finland on May 8, 1997. Jaime defeated Finland's Teija Ojakangas by a 2-1 margin using the Finnish scoring system (in which scoring blows do not count for points, but punching skills, mobility, and are evaluated in a range of 5 to 1 points). Clampitt received a special trophy for the "most memorable performance" at the second meet.

At a tournament held in Calgary, Alberta on October 11-12 1997, Jaime (142 lbs) won a bout with Angela Manuel (140 lbs) of British Columbia. Canadian amateur boxer Misty Shearer, another participant in the same tournament, told me: "I guess Jaime has had a bit of a layoff, but it didn't show. She was very aggressive and moved in and out well. Angela never backed down from Jaime. That was impressive but I noticed after half way of the second round the punches becoming a little slopping, not sharp down the center, more and more wide hooks. The third round was more of that. They were moving back and forth but the punches weren't sharp. There was one time it looked like Jaime was dazed but Angela never saw it and backed off. Jaime won a unanimous decision but I think if it would have been computer scoring Angela might have won or at least got a decision. Jamie was just aggressive but not really the sharp accurate punching the computer scoring looks for."

In the 60-kg division of the 1998 Canadian national championships, Jaime defeated Sonja Caron of Quebec by first-round stoppage in a semifinal bout on Thursday, January 15. She went on to lose to Ontario's Debbie Richards in the gold medal bout by a 17-9 score. Misty Shearer told me "by this score you would think it was a walk over but it wasn't. Jaime has improved a lot since I last saw her fight, she is a really good boxer. Debbie is a scrapper throwing a lot of punches really wild. Unfortunately for Jaime she fought back that way and it didn't work. Debbie would just come barrelling in, and that's really hard for a technical boxer to fight. So fighting Debbie style (just a flurry and hope to hit the target), Jaime lost. I talked to some people who had watched the semi finals ... by far Jaime is the better boxer."

Jaime won the gold medal in the 63.5-kg (light welterweight) division of the Canadian nationals held in Sudbury, Ontario on 23-24 January 1999 by defeating Tanya Robertson of Ontario by a 7-4 score. (At that time Jaime's amateur record was 15-4).

On March 24, 1999 in the first leg of the Canada-Sweden Dual held in Sudbury/Azilda, Ontario, Jaime won her bout in the 63.5 kg class by defeating highly regarded Swedish champion Frida Wallberg by an 11-5 score.

On May 15, 1999 at the Feenix Cup in Turku, Finland, Wallberg got her revenge by outpointing Jaime 10-6. Clampitt told a Calgary reporter "I was heartbroken after I lost to (Wallberg) at the Feenix Cup, but it really taught me something. I was kicking her butt, but I wasn't letting the judges see my scoring blows, and trying too hard for the knockout. I just watched the tape of the bout the other day and can't wait to get her again." (Wallberg continued fighting as an amateur and was regarded as one of the best of the strong Swedish team; she turned pro in 2004 and could be an exciting rematch for Jaime in the future!).

On June 25-26, 1999 in the 63.5-kg division of a USA vs. Canada exhibition Dual Meet at Dalhousie University in Halifax, Nova Scotia, USA 1999 silver medalist Jean Martin of Brooklyn, New York defeated Jaime when the referee stopped the bout in the second round.

Before this USA-Canada tournament, Clampitt had decided this would be her last last amateur fight before turning pro, saying that her style was more suited for the women's pro circuit. "I'm ready for the next level, I learned all I could as an amateur, and it's my time", she told the Calgary Sun. As an amateur, she had compiled a record of 25-6.

Clampitt's amateur coach John Rajala told the Women's Boxing Page "she's such a pleasure to coach, she knows what she wants, and she goes after it. And setbacks don't seem to shake her too much."

Jaime made her pro debut at 137 lbs on January 14, 2000 at Ogden Legion Hall in Calgary, before a crowd of 600. Jaime won by TKO at 0:56 of the first round over Christina Miller (124½ lbs) of Ashtabula, Ohio, who dropped to 0-9. Clampitt attacked Miller from the opening bell and landed a series of punches to the head before Miller, who was covering up against the ropes, asked the referee to stop the bout. Ashtabula-trained boxers are notorious for quitting early in pro fights in which they have been badly overmatched, so this debut assignment was an easy one for an experienced fighter like Jaime.

On April 26, 2000 in Edmonton, Alberta, Jaime (down to 130 lbs) won a four-round decision over Jamie Day of Ogden, Utah, who was making her own pro debut. (Day had yet to win her first pro bout in five attempts).

 On September 20, 2000 at the Mayfield Inn Trade Centre in Edmonton, Alberta, Jaime won a unanimous 40-36 decision over Cathy Boyes of Kamloops, British Columbia. Boyes fell to 0-4 as a pro boxer but she was more of a test for Clampitt as she had taken on several very experienced pro fighters, including Snodene Blakeney and Olivia Gerula.

On February 9th, 2001 at Foxwoods Casino in Ledyard, Connecticut Jaime had her first pro bout outside Canada. She weighed in at 136 lbs and faced a much tougher opponent than in her previous pro fights ... highly regarded local fighter Liz Mueller (5'4", 133 lbs) ... as well as her first six-round bout. Mueller was coming off a split decision loss to four-time world champion Marischa Sjauw of Holland and had previously defeated British powerhouse Jane Couch.

Mueller's straight ahead aggressive style gave her a razor-thin edge over Clampitt's speed and movement in the middle rounds, and she handed Clampitt a loss by a 58-56, 58-56, 57-57 majority decision. Clampitt came out working her jab but the pace soon quickened as both went to throwing combinations. They went straight after each other in the second with Mueller attacking Clampitt's body. The third saw non-stop action with good combinations but both also moving well, Clampitt busier, but Mueller landing the more solid punches, particularly to Clampitt's body. The action was interrupted briefly when Clampitt lost her mouthpiece. Mueller went to Clampitt's body more aggressively in the fourth, and caught Clampitt with some very hard blows, but Clampitt used her defensive skills to fend off most of Mueller's attack. In the fifth, Mueller looked stronger while Clampitt appeared to be slowing under the barrage of body shots. In the sixth round, they traded blows and Mueller lost her footing and fell to the canvas. Clampitt lost her mouthpiece again about 10 seconds before the final bell. This was a well-fought action-packed bout that helped to promote women's boxing on ESPN2, who carried it live on Friday Night Fights. Mueller moved to 6-1 (2 KO) with the win.

Although Clampitt suffered her first pro defeat in this bout, she clearly showed that she belonged in the same ring as Mueller, who's hung tough with two of the world's best fighters in this weight bracket. Clampitt also showed poise and conditioning in a six-rounder on an aggressive opponent's home turf, and she projected a good "presence" in the ring. The bout showed that Jaime was clearly the latest potential pro boxing star to come out of the Canadian women's amateur program.

On May 18, 2001 at the Palace Ballroom in Calgary, Canada, Jaime (138½ lbs) won a hard-fought four-round unanimous (40-37,39-37,40-36) decision over Brenda Bell Drexel (5'2½", 137¼ lbs) from San Marcos, Texas. Bell dropped to 4-10-1 with the loss.

On June 2, 2001 at Rhodes-on-the-Pawtuxet in Cranston, Rhode Island, Jaime easily moved her record to 5-1 (2 KO's) with a TKO of Anita Parker of Philadelphia at 1:48 in the first round of a lightweight bout. Parker had gone to the canvas three times in the round ... the first time just 10 seconds into the bout after taking a right to the head. This was Clampitt's first bout promoted by Jimmy Burchfield, who was impressed by her showing in her majority decision loss to Liz Mueller. In this bout, Clampitt had little opportunity to show off her skills against an overmatched opponent.

On August 10, 2001 at Foxwoods Casino in Ledyard, Connecticut, Jaime weighed in at 133 lbs and won a four-round unanimous decision over Erica Sugar (132½ lbs) of Palmer Park, Maryland. Clampitt rocked Sugar with a big right in the second round and kept her retreating from then until the final bell. Sugar fell to 2-1-1 (1 KO).

On December 7, 2001 at Foxwoods Casino in Ledyard, Connecticut, Liz Mueller (131½ lbs) won the vacant IWBF Lightweight title with a clear unanimous decision over Clampitt. This rematch between the two former national amateur champions wasn't as close as their earlier bout. Mueller outfought Clampitt on the inside in a messy fight in which both took each other to the canvas a couple of times in action better suited to the WWF. The scorecards were 97-93,98-92,98-92 for Mueller who improved her record to 8-2 (2 KOs).

On April 12, 2002 in Miami, Oklahoma, 2000 fans on hand for a show whose male uppercard was live on ESPN2's Friday Night Fights saw Jaime win a four-round unanimous decision over Kanicia Eley of Norfolk, Virginia, whose pro record fell to 2-2-0 (1 KO) with the loss. Eley was the 2001 National 139-lb USA Boxing silver medalist.

Clampitt moved to Narragansett, Rhode Island to further her boxing career and train at "Tiny" Ricci's Rhode Island Boxing gym in Warwick, Rhode Island under the direction of Tiny Ricci and Chuck Sullivan. "Most of the serious Canadian boxers move to the states", said Clampitt, adding "in Calgary, I couldn't even get anyone to spar with, never mind fight."

On June 28, 2002 at Park Plaza Castle in Boston, Massachusetts, Jaime (142 lbs) took a hard fought six round unanimous (60-54,60-54,59-55) decision over Connie Bechtel (142 lbs) of Reading, Pennsylvania. The boxing skills that Clampitt honed in national and international competition as an amateur were the difference ... but Bechtel gamely made a fight of it despite the lop-sided score. Both fighters were stunned by a clash of heads early in the fight but went on to make it the "Fight of the Night". Bechtel fell to 2-8-3 (2 KO). (I'm told that this fight was fought with three minute rounds, owing to a timekeeper's error).

"Connie is a tough girl," said Clampitt. "She took a lot of hard punches and kept coming forward. This was a good hard fight for me. I had a lot of fun and was able to work on a lot of things in there." 

"(Jaime) did a good job," said her co-trainer Chuck Sullivan. "There are still some things we need to work on and some things we need to polish, but she did a lot of the things we have been working on in the gym. She listens well. I thought she fought a near perfect fight though and really controlled the whole fight from bell to bell." 

On October 25, 2002 at Foxwoods Casino in Ledyard, Connecticut, Jaime (142 lbs) eked out a 58-56,58-56,57-57 six-round majority decision over  Summer DeLeon (143 lbs) of St. George, Utah. The first five rounds were a boxing clinic with the fighters trading trading jabs and Clampitt's skills giving her a slight edge. They opened it up in the sixth and slugged it out with each other with DeLeon appearing to get the better of it and landing well. Clampitt was often beaten to the punch but came back with good counters to preserve a narrow edge on the scorecards. DeLeon, who had been training in Las Vegas with Livingston Bramble, fell to 7-6-2 (1 KO) with the loss.

On January 11, 2003 at Dunkin' Donuts Center in Providence, Rhode Island, Jaime (144½ lbs) won a six- round majority (59-56,59-55,57-57) decision over unranked Cynthia Jones (146 lbs) from Miami, Florida, who fell to 1-3-0. Clampitt began well, using her straight right to back Jones up and work combinations to Jones against the ropes, but Jones came on strong and showed her punching power at close quarters in the second. The third round saw hard toe to to action with Clampitt capping an early flurry with a hard right but Jones catching Clampitt against the ropes with a good right of her own later in the session. Jones put some good combinations together in the fourth but Clampitt boxed and moved well in the last two rounds secure the decision. "Tough fights like this will just make me a better fighter," said Clampitt after the fight. "I didn’t expect this. She was a lot bigger and I felt her strength right away. I didn’t really see her during the weigh in but when she got out there you could notice the size difference. I didn’t really feel that I could do anything and then the strength on top of that kind of took my fight plan away."

On March 7, 2003 at Christopher Columbus Center in Boston, Massachusetts, Jaime (138 lbs) knocked out unranked Ragan Pudwill (135 lbs) of Mandan, North Dakota at 1:19 in the fourth round. Clampitt pushed Pudwill to the canvas early in the fourth round, but when Pudwill got up and the action continued, Clampitt folded her up with a right to the solar plexus. As Pudwill stood doubled over and wobbling, Clampitt felled her with a left to the body, and Pudwill was counted out. The bout, which had been scheduled for eight rounds, was for a vacant Women's Eastern Boxing Association Junior Welterweight title. Pudwill fell to 3-9-0 (0 KO).

On July 18, 2003 at Cape Cod Melody Tent in Hyannis, Massachusetts, Jaime returned from a break during which she married her publicist to weigh in at 141½ lbs and win a third-round TKO over unranked Crystal Bolles (5'7", 142 lbs) of Springfield, Missouri in a scheduled six-rounder. Bolles fell to 2-7-0 (0 KO).

On October 31, 2003 at Rhode Island Convention Center in Providence, Rhode Island, Jaime weighed in at 138 lbs and won a ten-round unanimous (99-92,96-95,99-94) decision over Eliza Olson (139 lbs) of Fresno, California for the vacant IWBF junior welterweight title. Clampitt improved her pro record to 13-2-0 (4 KO) while Olson slipped to 6-2-1 (2 KO). Olson was a late substitute for Michelle Linden, who broke a toe a few days before the bout. Attendance was 2,194.

On March 27, 2004 at Foxwoods Resort in Mashantucket, Connecticut, Jaime (137 lbs) TKO'd Lelana Ellis (136 lbs) of Houston, Texas at the end of the fourth round of a scheduled ten- round bout for the vacant North American Boxing Association Junior Welterweight title. Clampitt punished Ellis early and often as the Texan had no answers for her relentless barrage of left and right hooks. Referee Frank Cappuccino had told Ellis ``Don't look at me, honey!'' when Ellis appeared to look at him to see if he would stop the action in the third. He then visited the Texan's corner between rounds to warn her that he would stop the fight if she didn't defend herself better. The action continued with Clampitt battering Ellis's body in the fourth round as one of Ellis's cornermen waved a towel trying to get Cappuccino's attention. Clampitt improved to 14-2-0 (5 KO) while Ellis fell to 9-2-0 (3 KO) with her second straight loss.

On June 12, 2004 at Foxwoods Casino in Mashantucket, Connecticut, Jaime (139 lbs) lost the NABA and IWBF Junior Welterweight titles to Jane Couch (140 lbs) by a close but unanimous (96-94,96-94, 96-95) decision after a 10-round slugfest that had the crowd on its feet at times. Neither boxer backed off throughout the fight, which Clampitt battled with a mouse under her left eye from the middle rounds on and with a bloody nose in the final round. Couch had a height and reach advantage and also outworked Clampitt by doubling up her punches to the head and body. Clampitt countered with left and right hook combinations. She backed Couch against the ropes several times and worked her body, but she could not deter Couch from coming forward to press her attack. Neither fighter was ever in serious trouble. Jane Couch improved her record to 24-6-0 (8 KOs), while Clampitt fell to 14-3 (5 KO).

Clampitt had dedicated this fight to her trainer Tiny Ricci, who passed away only two days earlier and she was too upset to give comments.  Jane Couch said "She is a great fighter and it was a great fight for women’s boxing ... a good fight with two well matched fighters. (Clampitt) is a strong girl. I'll definitely give her a rematch.''

On October 1, 2004 at Bayside Expo Center in Boston, Massachusetts, USA, Jaime (142 lbs) won a unanimous (60-55, 59-55,59-55) six-round decision in a rematch with Brenda Bell Drexel (151 lbs) of San Marcos, Texas. Bell Drexel, who originally weighed in at 156 lbs, backed Clampitt up with body shots i the second round but Clampitt became more aggressive in the fourth and caught Bell Drexel with two hard overhand rights. Clampitt moved to 14-3 (3 KO) while Bell Drexel fell to 5-24-2 (0 KO) with the defeat.  Bell Drexel continued to come forward in the fifth and sixth but Clampitt's defense was equal to the task as she traded with the heavier Texan.

"Everything I worked on in the gym I was able to take into the fight,"
said Clampitt. "I felt pretty good, I was trying to be patient. A lot of times I found myself rushing in and trying to do too much too soon. I was hoping to wear her down in the first three rounds by working to the body. She had a lot of weight on me but I didn't feel that much snap on her punches."

"She did what she had to do in adapting to a much bigger opponent,"
said Clampitt's trainer Chuck Sullivan after the bout. "What she had to do was box and she did that beautifully."

Clampitt recalled her late trainer Tiny Ricci in a post-fight interview.  "He was on my mind the whole time, I have to adjust to life without him but I could definitely feel his presence in my corner throughout the fight. I felt that he was with me here tonight."

On December 10, 2004 at Foxwoods Resort Casino in Mashantucket, Connecticut, Jaime (140 lbs) fought to a ten-round  96-94,94-96,95-95 draw with Eliza Olson (140 lbs) of San Francisco, California in a rematch bout for the again-vacant IWBF Light Welterweight title.  After two lackluster opening rounds, the fighters worked in close, where Olson had success with her straight right hands. Clampitt countered by going to the body but broke her right hand as the pace quickened early in the third round. The middle rounds saw the best action as Clampitt scored coming out of a clinch in the fourth while Olson was effective with her uppercuts in the fifth and sixth. Both fighters finished the bout with an exciting flurry. Clampitt appeared relieved by the verdict, while Olson was near tears when it was announced.

"It was a tough fight, we have different styles and that made for an awkward fight," said Clampitt.  "She fought totally different tonight than she did the last time. Last fight she was running all over the place. This time she kept coming in. I thought that she was coming in with her head a lot. You know they were calling me for holding but she was doing the same thing so with our styles there was nothing that we could do about it. I guess our styles didn't make a very clean fight."  Clampitt's right hand was bruised and swollen after the fight, and although she had continued to land with it she told the Narragansett Times: "I knew the hand was hurt as soon as I threw the punch. It was a sharp pain and I could feel it swell in my gloves. It was killing me through the fight, but I was not about to quit, so I sucked it up ... she was open for some nice right uppercuts, which we had been working on ... I just could not close the fist so the power was not there." 

"Jaime's hand was pretty messed up and she should be commended for even continuing the fight, never mind pulling off the win," said her trainer Chuckie Sullivan. "She went to the hospital and it was slightly worse than we had thought as we had figured it was just a break in one of the bones, but it turns out she had two slight fractures and a torn metacarpal ligament."

Eliza Olson had taken the rematch at short notice after Clampitt's originally scheduled opponent, Jane Couch, dropped out. Couch had fought on a card that she promoted herself the previous week, and then fell victim to a case of impetigo. Couch's withdrawal moved the IWBF to strip her of the title which she won by defeating Clampitt in June.

On June 17, 2005 at Dunkin Donuts Center in Providence, Rhode Island, Jaime (142 lbs) won by a TKO at 1:44 of the third round over an overmatched Leora Jackson (142 lbs) of Springdale, Arizona. Clampitt unleashed a flurry of punches that sent Jackson falling back onto the ropes and staggering, eventually landing near her corner. “The left hook was landing then she started moving the other way, then the right hand was working, so I was just trying to mix it up and I knew I had her hurt, and I just wanted to take her out.”  Jackson fell to 2-5-0 (0 KOs) with this loss. 

On August 26, 2005 at the Rhode Island Convention Center in Providence, Rhode Island, Jaime (134 lbs) won the IWBF Lightweight title with a fourth round TKO over Shelby Walker (134½ lbs) of Indianapolis, Indiana.  The scheduled ten-rounder was stopped when Walker was badly cut. Walker, who had previously fought as a featherweight)  fell to 7-5-1 (6 KOs).

On May 18, 2006 at the Convention Center in Providence, Rhode Island, Jaime (134¾ lbs) took on her local rival Missy "The Fury" Fiorentino (131 lbs) of Cranston, Rhode Island who was the reigning IWBF Featherweight champion, in a highly-anticipated showdown. The bout lived up to advance expectations as 10 rounds of non-stop excitement, culminating in a unanimous (97-94,96-94,96-94) decision for the hard-charging Fiorentino.  Missy took home the IWBF Lightweight belt as she moved her record to 14-1-0 (6 KOs) while dropping Jaime to 17-4-1 (6 KOs).

“I kind of forced her to fight my fight. I knew she’s a good boxer and she likes to move around. I knew I had to cut her off, keep her on the inside,“ said Fiorentino. "A few times I saw her hands drop and I thought that she was open for the straight right and (trainer) Peter (Manfredo Sr.) kept telling me to follow up with the hook.” Manfredo said his boxer’s winning edge was honed in a California training camp last month. “She sparred with six different women. Some at 150, some at 160, some with boxing style, some with great jabs-so we were ready for anything that she threw at us tonight. She excelled at everything tonight, executed the plan perfectly,” he said. 

According to George Kimball of the SweetScience.com, "A disconsolate Clampitt remained in her dressing room afterward, but when trainer Chuck Sullivan met with the press afterward he was asked what Fiorentino-Clampitt bout had done for women’s boxing. 'You saw the fight,' he replied. 'There were what, ten fights on tonight’s show? What was the best fight?'"

WBAN named the Fiorentino-Clampitt fight as its Fight of the Year 2006.

On February 9, 2007 at the Rhode Island Convention Center in Providence, Rhode Island, Jaime Clampitt (135 lbs) won a ten round unanimous (100-90,100-90,99-91) decision over Mia St. John (135 lbs) for the IWBF Lightweight title.  Clampitt improved to 18-4-1 (6 KOs) with the win while St. John fell to 43-8-2 (18 KOs).

On June 20, 2007 in Mashantuckett, Connecticut, Jamie (136 lbs) defeated Jane Couch (139 lbs) of Bristol, U.K. by a ten-round unanimous decision in a rematch of their earlier battle, for the IWBF Junior Welterweight title.

“I felt good in the first four or five rounds,” Clampitt said. “I actually felt like I hit a wall, I don’t know if I was a little dehydrated. I just felt like my legs couldn’t move. Jane’s a busy, busy fighter, and I just wanted to make sure trying to move and use the jab. I found it a little difficult for me five through seven, eight I started picking it up and nine and ten I felt good.” When asked about using her shoulder in the middle rounds to block and give some different looks, Clampitt said, “I was just trying to mix it up. I didn’t want to fight this fight like I fought the last one.”   Clampitt improved to 19-4-1 (7 KOs) while Couch fell to 28-10-0 (9 KOs).

On March 14, 2008 at the Twin Rivers Event Center in Rhode Island, Jamie (135 lbs)  retained her IWBF lightweight title with a 97-93, 95-95, 97-93 majority decision over Belinda Laracuente (133¾ lbs) of New York CityClampitt improved to 19-4 (7 KO's) with the win while Laracuente, a native of Puerto Rico, fell to 23-22-3 (9 KO'S).

On November 20, 2009 at the Twin River Event Center in Lincoln, Rhode Island, Jaime Clampitt (140½ lbs) returned to the ring after a 20-month layoff and won a six-round unanimous decision over Rachel Clark (143½ lbs) of Fayetteville, North Carolina.  Clampitt advanced her pro record to 20-4-1 (7 KO's) with this win while Clark fell to 4-3-1 (3 KO's).

“I just felt so good after having my baby,” Clampitt explained when asked why she’s returning to the ring. “I missed the sport. So many people were saying I couldn’t or shouldn’t box again, but I’ve always liked challenges. Things are different today. So many women athletes have children.”  Clampitt, who has run a boxing program for two years at Battle Ground Gym in East Greenwich, RI, says she won’t encourage her daughter to become a boxer. “It’s a tough sport ... I don’t want her to fight. We’ll have plenty of things to do together, but, whatever she chooses, I will support her.”

On March 19, 2010 at the Twin River Events Center in Lincoln, Rhode Island, USA, Jaime Clampitt (139½ lbs) won a six-round majority (59-55,59-55,57-57) decision over Jill Emery (141 lbs) of New York City.  Clampitt improved to 22-4-1 (7 KOs) as Emery slipped to 9-3-0 (3 KOs).

Jaime comes by her athletic ability through her family ... her father  Clifford played pro hockey in the Chicago Black Hawks organization and her mother Beverly was a professional figure skater and figure skating coach. As a personal trainer in Canada, Jaime trained professional athletes, lawyers, and even "professional adventure seeker" Jamie Clark, the author of "From Everest to Arabia," who was preparing for a mountain expedition in Russia.

Jaime has also taken up sport surfing, guided by her father-in-law surfing hall-of-famer Peter Pan and sister-in-law Tricia Pan, who are both championship surfers and she hopes to competing as a two-sport athlete.
