California born 1980’s boxers Dora Webber and Cora Webber are believed to be the only set of twin sisters to participate in pro women’s boxing.
Their identical twin status caused some confusion at one point – Cora had previously fought southpaw Toni Rodriguez and won by an unanimous decision. When Dora was set to fight Rodriguez later, Toni thought that Cora was pulling a scam, and Dora was required to produce proof that she was actually Cora’s twin, before the fight could go on…which ended up with Dora knocking Toni out.
Going back 20 years ago, there where very limited female sparring partners to box against, so the twins sparred with male partners including World Welterweight Champion Carlos Palomino.
