Her boxing debut was in January 2000, when she knocked out Faye Steffen in round one, something she did very often – her first four fights all ended in first round knockout wins. Vonda has fought 23 bouts, won 17 by knockout, and only lost one fight in her career.

The one match she lost, was to nine inch shorter Ann Wolfe. Ward was knocked out in the first 70 seconds of the match; breaking her record as an undefeated fighter, and is her only loss to date. Ward was removed by a stretcher, given oxygen with a mask and required hospitalization after this bout, watch below:

    My older brother used to box, my mom never once went, said she couldn’t bear seeing him be hit, both if us were like “get a grip mom”. I of course loved it haha.
