Raquel Miller W6 Sonya Dreiling... On Thursday, December 2nd, Raquel Miller (pictured) ended two years of inactivity with a win over Sonya Dreiling at The Hangar in Costa Mesa, California, United States. After six rounds, Miller won by unanimous decision on the scorecards to improve to 11-0. Dreiling is now 4-2. While working at a law firm Miller decided to take up boxing with the idea of just doing one fight and losing weight. She did lose considerable weight and settled in at middleweight and junior middleweight. She dreamed of the Olympics at the age of 25 after making a few amateur appearances.  By 2012 she made it to the US national team as an alternate for the London Olympics when the sport’s top event was inaugurating women’s participation in boxing. She accumulated medals in state, national and for 2016 she decided to make the leap to professionals; she debuted with a technical knockout at the fourteenth minute of the first round. 

 

While continuing in the formal work of the law firm, she began to work as a personal trainer, trained and began the construction of that cherished dream of being consecrated as world champion: in November 2019, in Canada, she defeated by points unanimously the Mexican Alma Ibarra and won the WBA 154 interim belt but didn't fight again until this fight.
