Yvette Raposo

Yvette’s journey within the fitness, boxing and speaking industries has been as diverse and exciting as a boxing match itself! She has shifted roles over time from inside the gym, in front of boardrooms and classrooms, to standing center ring in sporting arenas in front of thousands, and even on the radio with her own boxing talk show called “Squared Circle with Yvette Raposo”.

Her message remains consistent: “think like a fighter - live as a champion”. With a Masters in Neuro Linguistic Programming, Yvette believes that we all possess everything we need inside to feel like the Champions of our own lives.

While in pursuit of becoming Canada’s first female professional boxing ring announcer in 2018, Yvette developed her stage presence through the art of storytelling and by participating in speaking competitions. All of that practice paid off when she won 2nd place at the Inspirational Speaker of the Year Award at the Speaker Slam Grand Slam in 2021!

One of her proudest accomplishments to date, is the work she is currently doing at the University of Toronto to facilitate the first ever non-contact boxing program of its kind, and the response has been incredible.
