SANTIAGO — Canadian boxer Tammara Thibeault qualified for the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris by advancing to the final at the Pan American Games.
The 26-year-old from Shawinigan, Que., defeated Vanessa Ortiz of Mexico in the semifinal by unanimous decision to advance to the gold-medal bout in the women’s 75-kilogram class.
Thibeault won a world title in 2022 and reached the quarterfinal round of Tokyo’s Olympic Games two years ago.
She’s among five Canadian boxers in Pan Am Games semifinals attempting to punch their ticket to Paris.
