MVP SIGNS CANADIAN IBO BANTAMWEIGHT WORLD CHAMPION AT 118 LBS AMANDA GALLE
NEW YORK, NY – June 11, 2025 – Most Valuable Promotions (MVP) today announced the signing of 118lb IBO bantamweight world champion, three-time Canadian national champion, and BoxRec’s #1 Canadian bantamweight Amanda Galle (11-0-1, 1 KO). Galle joins MVP’s elite roster of top Canadian talent, including top-ranked lightweight Lucas Bahdi and 2x Canadian Olympian Tamm Thibeault, strengthening MVP’s commitment to uplifting women’s boxing globally.
Amanda Galle was raised in a proud Italian family in Mississauga, Ontario, Canada and began her combat sports journey at age six. Under guidance of her lifelong coach Vito Brancaccio, she excelled in karate and earned her black belt at just 11 years old, also learning boxing and kickboxing. At 16, Galle stepped into the boxing ring for the first time and delivered a 28-second knockout. She quickly rose through the ranks, capturing gold at her Canadian National Championship debut in 2009. Galle captured a second national title at the 2013 Canadian Championships, just weeks after her mother was diagnosed with stage three breast cancer. Following a three-year battle, her mother went into remission in 2016 and Amanda took time off to recover from depression before returning to the ring in 2017, even as her mother’s cancer returned. Galle proved her resilience yet again as she quickly re-established herself among the amateur elite to win her third national title in 2018.
She made her professional debut in 2019, recording six back-to-back unanimous decision victories to begin her pro career. As Galle continued to fight, both in the ring and for her mother’s spirit, the COVID-19 pandemic hit, and she stepped back from boxing to spend additional time with her mother and baby nephew. She returned to the ring in November 2021 with a unanimous decision victory against Jaica Pavilus, shortly before learning her mother had exhausted all treatment options. Galle fought once more in March 2022 before her mother’s passing, winning the Canadian super bantamweight champion title over Tania Walters and delivering the belt to her mother’s hospital bed at home. Her mother passed later that month. In December 2022, Galle overcame a broken hand to finish the year with a TKO win over Luz Elena Gerardo Martinez, then opened 2023 with another dominant decision. In December 2023, Galle earned her first title shot, defeating Niorkis Carreno to earn the then-vacant IBO bantamweight world champion. She most recently defended the title in a rematch against Carreno in December 2024. Outside of training at All Canadian Martial Arts Academy, Galle is an ambassador for Fight To End Cancer, regularly hosting bootcamps to raise funds for cancer research. As a graduate of Ryerson University in early childhood education, Galle enjoys working with youth at her gym and passing on the strength, resilience, and legacy her mother helped shape. Now under the MVP banner, she will look to achieve her next goal of becoming an undisputed champion at 118lbs.
“I’m thrilled to be working with MVP, the most powerful promotional team in women’s boxing,” said Amanda Galle. “MVP is making the biggest moves in the sport right now and I can’t wait to see what they do for me in this next chapter of my career. I am coming for all the belts in the bantamweight division so stay tuned for what’s next for Amanda Galle with the MVP team by my side.”
“Amanda Galle’s accomplishments and resilience in and out of the ring speak for themselves,” said Jake Paul and Nakisa Bidarian, co-founders of Most Valuable Promotions. “We are proud to welcome her to MVP and continue to strengthen our investment in Canada’s elite boxing talents as Amanda joins Olympian Tamm Thibeault and standout lightweight Lucas Bahdi on our roster.
