Vivat Regina Imperatrix

After 12 years, 44 matches as reigning, undefeated world boxing champion, Regina Halmich, acclaimed as the best female pugilist in the game's history, ends her professionnal career as a living legend.

A perfect example of the Greek ideal of beauty,  Regina combined on the ring fierce determination, tactical flair and style with an amazing physique.

Nicknamed die eisenharte Kriegerin ("iron-heart" i.e stone-cold fighter), die Amazone, Regina marked the world of female boxing with a seal of ferocious thirst for victory. Twelve years of retaining her boxing title has not prevented her from posing in german magazines for her career-ending announcement with glitter glam and ooooozing sex-appeal!

The pic I've chosen of Regina Halmich for this blog, illustrates more than words why she is The Amazone.
