Professional boxing career

[edit | edit source]

Debut against World Ranked boxer 2021

[edit | edit source]

Filipo Saua out of Snap Back Boxing is Hemingways trainer since making her professional debut.[6] Hemingway made her professional debut against world ranked boxer Alrie Meleisea. Before making her professional debut, she had only a few corporate fights with no amateur experience. Hemingway won the fight by majority decision which was considered a massive upset.[7] After the fight, it was reported that Hemingway was in line for a New Zealand title.[8] On July 23, 2021, it was announced that Hemingway would compete at New Zealand's largest rugby stadium, Eden Park.[5] Due to the COVID-19 pandemic the event was postponed to 29 April 2022 and ended up being held at ABA Stadium.[9]

Lani Daniels 2022

[edit | edit source]

Hemingway took on former world title challenger Lani Daniels.[10] She suffered her first loss against Daniels, losing by unanimous decision.[11] Hemingway was originally scheduled to fight Daniels again in a rematch for a New Zealand title,[12] however, due to injury Hemingway had to pull out of the fight.[13] In July 2022, Hemingway received her first major world ranking where she was ranked 6th with the WBA in the Light Heavyweight division, which is WBA's version of the Heavyweight division.[14]

Double Rematches 2022 - 2023

[edit | edit source]

In October 2022, it was announced that a rematch would happen between Meleisea and Hemingway in December for the vacant Pro Box NZ New Zealand National heavyweight title. At this time Hemingway is ranked 3rd in the WBA.[15] The winner of the Meleisea vs Hemingway fight would potentially lead to either a world title fight or at least a world title eliminator.[16] Leading into the fight, Hemingway had a 12 week training camp to prepare for her fight against Meleisea.[17] Meleisea won the fight by unanimous decision, making her a two time New Zealand heavyweight champion.[18] Hemingway stated she be interest in either a rematch with Meleisea or a fight against Nailini Helu.[19] In January 2023, it was announced that negotiations were happening to have a rematch with Lani Daniels.[20] On 14 January, the fight was confirmed and will be for the ANBF Australasian Heavyweight title.[21] On March 10, Daniels won the fight against Hemingway by unanimous decision, winning the ANBF Australasian Heavyweight title.[22]
