Amelia Moore is an emerging talent in the boxing world, but she insists she is much more than just a fighter. A graduate of Oxford Hills Comprehensive High School, she aspires to inspire and support others.
“I take great pride in being true to myself,” Moore expressed. She encourages others to embrace their uniqueness. “Be weird. Just be who you are.”
In March, the Norway native achieved a significant milestone by winning her first title belt, defeating Canada’s Bonnie Hunter in a unanimous decision for the North American Boxing Federation (NABF) Lightweight Championship.
During the fight in Massachusetts, Moore suffered a broken right hand in the seventh round. Following surgery, she reported that it “went perfectly” and was cast-free within a week. She has since transitioned to a removable brace and begun physical therapy in April.
Beyond her boxing skills, Moore is carving out a successful commentary career with the Team Boxing League, where she is scheduled for 28 appearances this year. Having previously fought for the league and been named Rookie of the Year, she shifted to commentary in 2025 after a nose injury forced her to take a break from fighting.
Moore expresses a keen desire to excel, not just for herself but to create opportunities for others. “I want people to notice me,” she shared with Maine’s Total Coverage. She emphasizes the importance of taking control of one’s experiences in life, stating, “Life is challenging, yet beautiful.”
Regarded as one of the fastest-rising stars in women’s boxing, Moore is currently ranked 16th by the WBC and 2nd by the WBO in her weight classes. Her recent victory positions her closer to a world title opportunity, a goal she hopes to achieve despite her recent injury, which has only set her back one scheduled fight. She aims to defend her NABF title in August at the Encore Casino in Boston.
At 36, Moore turned professional in late 2024, drawn to the sport from an early age through martial arts in an after-school program in Oxford Hills. She briefly attended the U.S. Naval Academy in Maryland before leaving for personal and medical reasons.
