Giselle Salandy - Female Boxer from Trinidad will Remain Undefeated

Giselle Salandy is a female boxing champion from Trinidad and Tobago. If she punched me in the mug, I’d cry for three days.

Giselle Salandy was born in on January 25, 1987 in Siparia and started boxing when she was 11. I was serious when I said I’d cry for three days if she delivered a punch to my gut. Giselle had a successful boxing career going for her having won a total of eight international boxing titles, including the most prestigious female boxing championships, such as World Boxing Council (WBC), World Boxing Association (WBA) and Women’s International Boxing Association (WIBA).

Giselle Salandy defended her World Boxing Council title last Boxing Day against Yahaira Hernandez from Dominican Republic moving her win count up to 17. During her professional boxing career, Giselle Salandy lost a grand total of zero (none, not one) fight. She was in it for the winning and win she did. Each time.

Sadly, Giselle Salandy will remain undefeated forever, her professional boxing record unchanged. Following bad car crash earlier today on the Beetham Highway in Trinidad, Giselle Salandy sustained severe bodily trauma and that claimed the life of this 21 year old boxing sensation.

Reports from Trinidad and Tobago indicate that Giselle Salandy was driving to Port of Spain in a Toyota Yaris (tiny vehicle). There was another passenger in the car with her – Trinidad and Tobago female football player Tamar Watson. At around 7am on January 4, 2009 the vehicle crashed into a concrete post on a side of the road on the outskirts of Port of Spain. Giselle Salandy and Tamar Watson were rushed to the hospital, but despite all efforts of the medical team to revive the boxing champion, she succumbed to her injuries one and a half hour after the car crash. Tamar Watson is still undergoing surgery treatment.

RIP Giselle Salandy :(
