Shondell Alfred


Shondell Alfred is a Guyanese former professional boxer who competed between 1999 and 2010. She held the WIBA bantamweight title from 2009 to 2010.

Professional career

Alfred made her professional boxing debut on 19 February 1999, beating Stephanie George by a four-round decision at Georgetown. After two more four-round decision wins, she went to Canada, where she would have her next two bouts: On 9 June 2000, she was stopped by Doris Hackl in the fourth round of a bout between undefeated fighters that was held in Halifax, and, on 23 September she suffered her second knockout loss in a row, defeated by Lisa Brown in two rounds at the Ontario location of Rama.
After losing to Brown, she returned home, where she defeated Joenette Toby on 6 August 2001, also by a four-round decision. On 26 December of that year, she registered her first knockout win, defeating Adriana Francis in the first round.
Alfred then left boxing for a year and a half. When she returned, she flew to Barbados, where she scored her second first-round knockout in a row, beating Vicki Boodram. Back home, a rematch with George awaited. The two fighters were now experienced and well known, and the rematch was eagerly awaited for by Guyanese boxing fans. On 26 December exactly two years to the date that Alfred scored her first knockout win, she outpointed George for the second time, this time over eight rounds.
Her next fight took Alfred to Europe. In that continent, she boxed Alexandra Mattheus on 28 February 2004. Alfred lost by a four-round decision. The fight was held in Denmark.
Her next fight, against the well known Alicia Ashley, was held in Guyana, on 27 March. Alfred was knocked down in round three, and, although she recuperated and lasted the eight round distance, she lost by an eight-round decision.
Immediately after the fight with Ashley, Alfred was given her first chance at winning a championship. On 22 November, she boxed Boodran in a rematch, for the WIBA Iberian-American Bantamweight title. The fight was held in Trinidad and Tobago. Alfred once again beat Boodram by knockout, this time in the third round.
After conquering that regional belt, a third fight with George was set, to be held on 29 January 2005. Their rubber match, however, was suspended and there are no future plans to carry that fight out.
