Virginia "Ginny" Fuchs, born on
March 9, 1988, in Houston, Texas. WBAN first learned about Fuchs
when Sue TL Fox covered the history-first 2012 Olympic Trials
that took place in Spokane, Washington.
Ginny became interested in many sports at a young age, with
soccer, softball, basketball and more. In a quick summary, when
she did get into women's boxing as an amateur boxer, she
represented the USA in the 2020 Summer Olympics, she won a
bronze medal at the 2018 World Championships, a silver medal at
the 2019 Pan American Games. Before this time she also had won
on the state level winning three Louisiana State Golden Gloves,
and also won in 2015 with a national Golden Gloves tournament.
Ginny first exposure to boxing was when she was a sophomore in
college, and she did it to stay in shape. She trained for about
a year before taking her first amateur bout.
Since then, she has dedicated herself to the sport, training
rigorously and competing at various levels. Despite facing
challenges and setbacks along the way, Ginny's determination and
passion have propelled her to achieve remarkable success in the
ring.
