How Ann Wolfe Became The Most FEARED Female Fighter!

Ann Wolfe was a homeless woman with 2 kids sleeping on the street. One night she saw 2 women boxing on the TV at a hospital where she was sheltering. From that moment on she knew what she wanted to do with her life. And she became the single most feared fighter in women’s boxing history.

We definiitely can't do "no politics". Poverty in the black community isn't an accident. It's constructed and very political. A true and full Ann Wolfe story would have to address what impacted the environment she was raised in.

Ann Wolfe needs to be a movie this is her life and her story and it's really touching and she showed how she didn't let anything get in between her and her kids and she might have struggled, but she conquered through it!

Ann Wolfe, a graduate of "Can't go back University". Some other fighters were more skilled, none were more determined. Gave back to the sport as a trainer after retirement to try to help others grow as she eventually did. Championship stuff for real. Credit to Rhythm Boxing for highlighting her story, which is arguably as important as her fights. Full perspective.

I used to train at Ann Wolfe’s gym in Austin as a kid. She’s one of the toughest and nicest people I’ve ever had the privilege to meet. Pops was the best too, very patient and an excellent coach he taught me everything I know about boxing. Thanks to both of them, I went from an unsure of himself little boy that got bullied to being confident in standing up for myself. RIP Pops

Hollywood couldn't have written a story like this, fit to be believed - Ann is a legend - she had more GUTS in her little finger than people had in their whole body - she could have taken out her rage via the cycle named Crime-&-Time - - she chose the pugilistic path to destruction - of her opponents from the rage that once dwelled deep inside of her-!!!AMAZING LADY-!!!

This was a tear jerker. God Bless this woman overcoming obstacles many would not have been able to handle. Too many of us take things for granted and we don’t realize how lucky we are. I had to fight the tears after hearing the awful and hurtful things she went thru. I wish she would have caught that bastard and beat the hell out of him. I’m sure God and Karma will make him suffer. Life is not always kind or a Blessing for all of us. I am happy to know she is now in paradise and everything she has she truly deserves. Anne congratulations to you on your success. I want to personally wish you all the best and forever success. Thank you to whoever shared this post. Never judge or underestimate anyone. If you don’t already know about a person’s situation, you don’t know what that person has been thru or what they are going thru at the moment.

[@jamesrichardson4965]

Funny thing is,, I remembered that moment when Ann Wolfe kept calling Laila Ali's manager to set up a fight with her. Even to the point where she even came to her gym. Not to mention,, the fight with Vonda Ward was the fight Laila Ali didn't take.

RIP to my grandfather “Pops”. He made me get in the gym. He got tired of me getting chased home from school. He even trained his dog to box. I remember when he first told the fellas in the gym that he was training Anne. I had a front row seat to Anne Wolfe’s rise to greatness. It’s surreal.

[@TalkaboutitNyny]

This story was amazing 👏. I'm from PA and I was athletic built and was teased for it as well. I didn't like that so I started fighting in the streets. And as I got older I won't lift a single weight because i get muscular fast. I wasn't allowed to become a fighter they were scared of what I would do. I wish I knew about her she would have been the push and motivation I needed my entire life. Sharing this video. She is my new idol ❤️❤️❤️❤️
