Transcription
Early life
Born in Paris, France,[4] Veyre immigrated to Canada in 2003 after visiting the country a few years earlier as her mother underwent cancer treatment in Montreal.[3]
Amateur career
Veyre started boxing at age 18 as a way to stay in shape and learn self-defense.[3] Fighting out of Club Boxe de l'Est in Montreal,[4] she won national titles in 2013 and 2014.[3]
At the 2015 Pan American Games in Toronto, Canada, Veyre won the gold medal in the lightweight category defeating Argentina's Dayana Sánchez by split decision in the final.[5] [6]
In 2016, Veyre suffered a shoulder injury which prevented her from qualifying for the 2016 Summer Olympics in Brazil. Upon her return, she won a silver medal at the 2017 American Boxing Confederation Continental Championships in Tegucigalpa, Honduras, losing in the final to Brazil's Beatriz Ferreira.[7]
She reached the quarter-finals at both the 2018 AIBA Women's World Boxing Championships in New Delhi, India,[3] and the 2018 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, Scotland.[8] [9]
Veyre switched to the featherweight category for the delayed 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo, Japan, reaching the quarter-finals where she lost to Italy's Irma Testa by unanimous decision.[10] [11] [12]
Professional career
Veyre turned professional in 2022,[13] making her pro-debut on 6 August that year with a unanimous decision win over Liliana Marisela Borquez from Mexico in a four-round contest at the Civic Complex, Cornwall, Ontario, Canada.[14]
Personal life
Veyre has a degree in translation.[3]
