The next movie up is 2000's "Knockout".
When Carmen Alvarado (Maria Conchita Alonso) discovers she's dying of a malignant brain tumor, she tells her young daughter Belle (Sophia Luke) that she shouldn't have to give up what she wants to do with her life for the one she loves--in her mother's words, "to let her light shine." Carmen had given up her dancing career to marry her husband, Chuck, who had been a Golden gloves champ when he gave up boxing for steadier work as a policeman. When she finds out that Belle has the talent and desire to box professionally, she helps her beautiful, young daughter find her dream and perhaps her way out of East L.A.

Tanya 'Terminator' Tessaro.

Blonde Fist (1991)

Except for Clint Eastwood's "Million Dollar Baby" you don't hear much about female boxing movies.
No, I'm not counting Foxy Boxy videos.
So I thought I would do a little digging and see what I could find.
The first movie I ran across could be the oldest women's boxing movie......
Blonde Fist (1991)
A Liverpool woman, Ronnie O'Dowd (the daughter of a bare knuckle fighter) is put in jail for assault.
She escapes and crosses the big pond to go to New York to find her estranged father, now an alcoholic dishwasher.
To get the money to fly back to England, she becomes a female boxer.
The movies stars Margi Clarke as Ronnie O'Dowd, Ken Hutchinson as John O'Dowd and Carroll Baker as Lovelle Summers.
It also stars real life boxer Susan Atkins as Crazy Sue.
You can get the movie here Blonde Fist [VHS]
But it only comes in VHS.
You can see a clip of the fight between Ronnie O'Dowd and Crazy Sue on YouTube here:

Does Margi kinda remind you of a younger Brigitte Nielsen there?

Olivia Gerula

Olivia Gerula (Olivia Pereira) was born May 1, 1979 in Brampton, Ontario, Canada.
Olivia started out in soccer, moved on to gymnastics and then went into kickboxing.
Since at the time, kickboxing couldn't give her much competition, Olivia moved onto boxing.
Her record is 11 (KO 3) - 10 (KO 1) and 2 draws.
Lately Olivia has been on a winning streak of 3 fights in a row since a loss to Sandy Tsagouris back in 2007.
Olivia's latest fight was with Jelena Mrdjenovich (23-4-1) where she won a 10-round unanimous decision and the WBC Female Super Featherweight title.
After the victory, Olivia received the Mayor's Award for Sports Excellence in Manitoba for winning the title.
