A Grade 8 student at Chimo Elementary School in Smiths Falls is a Novice Boxing Champion.
Hazel Pevere took home the Ontario Boxing Champion crown in the 57kg Novice Female Division.
Pevere trains out of the Comodus Boxing Club in Perth, and has been sparing and refining her techniques for two years.
She claimed the title at the Boxing Ontario Novice Tournament, held late last month in Brampton by split decision.
