Mischa Merz
has returned from the US where she was undefeated in five fights
over six weeks.
Merz competed
in the masters division on several USA Boxing tournaments in
July and August.
In that
time she won the Women’s National Golden Gloves Tournament
in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, the Georgia Games championship
in Atlanta, Georgia as well as the Ringside World Championship
in Kansas City, Misouri - all in the 138lb division (62.5kgs).

These wins
come on top of her 2001 Australian Championship when she competed
in the open (under 35) section of amateur boxing in Australia.
Merz, 45,
has been unable to compete at home due to age restrictions.
But the master’s division of USA boxing is active and
strong, with more than 60 athletes registering for the Ringside
tournament out of 1400 athletes worldwide.
Her journey
across the US will part of her next book, due to be published
by Seven Stories Press in New York in 2010.
