Carolina Duer

Carolina Raquel Duer (born 5 August 1978 in Buenos Aires) is an Argentine professional boxer.

She has held world titles in the super flyweight and bantamweight divisions, including the World Boxing Organization (WBO) super flyweight and bantamweight titles, as well as the International Boxing Federation (IBF) bantamweight title. Duer, who is Jewish and of Syrian immigrant background, has been described as the first Jewish woman to win a WBO title.

Early life Duer was born 5 August 1978, in Buenos Aires, to a family of Jewish Syrian immigrants with roots in Damascus and whose 20th-century diaspora was shaped by anti-Jewish violence and growing insecurity in Syria. Duer attended a Jewish day school and Maccabi club, and celebrated her Bat Mitzvah in the Iona Hebrew Center, a Conservative synagogue. She attended the Jaim Najman Bialik Primary School in Buenos Aires.

Boxing career As an amateur, Duer won 19 of 20 fights before turning professional in 2007. She won the WBO super flyweight title (fighters weighing 112 pounds to 115 pounds) in December 2010 by defeating Loredana Piazza by decision, and defended the title six times. In July 2012, Duer made the fifth defense of her WBO super flyweight title, defeating Romanian European champion Corina Carlescu by technical knockout in the fifth round in La Plata. In July 2013, she moved up to bantamweight and defeated Venezuelan Mayra Alejandra Gómez by unanimous decision to win the WBO bantamweight title, becoming the first Jewish woman to hold a WBO crown.

Three years later, on August 26, 2016, and after a pause in her career due to her maternity, Duer won for the third time the IBF world bantamweight after defeating the Brazilian boxer Aline Scaranello by technical knockout. She lost the title in her first defense, to María Cecilia Román, by split decision.Maria Roman Upsets Champ Carolina Duer in Argentina, The Sweet Science
