Who is Vaia Zaganas?
Vaia Zaganas is a Canadian boxer from Burnaby, British Columbia. "Vicious" Vaia Zaganas is possibly the most accomplished female boxer to ever come out of Canada. After discovering the sport at an early age, she went on to win the Canadian National Championships title in 1998. As part of Canada's National team, Zaganas compiled an impressive record of 36–4, winning fights in Canada, the United States and Europe. Other highlights of her amateur career include winning a second national title, twice winning gold at the U.S.A. vs Canada dual meet, twice winning gold at the U.S. national Blue and Gold event and being named "Most Outstanding Boxer" of the tournament. In 2000, she won Canada's "Rookie of The Year" award for best performance in international competition, male or female.
Before turning professional, Zaganas was ranked number one in the world by AIBA in her weight division. She moved to Las Vegas, Nevada later that year to pursue a professional boxing career. Her success in the ring continued, as she won the IFBA Straw-weight World Championship in 2002 and the NABF light-flyweight World Championship in 2004. Considered one of the best pound-for-pound boxers in the world, Zaganas now has an overall professional record of 16–3 with 6 KO’s.
