After her controversial split with the Brizzi Brothers earlier in the year, Susie ‘Q’ quickly found herself learning more than she bargained for about the shape of boxing in her home town of Melbourne.
While Susie and new trainer Robbie Peden tried to ensure the defence of her IBF Bantamweight title was held in Australia, they were shunned by Melbourne promoters who showed next to no support and refused to sign Susie to a show. With only weeks to go before Susie’s world title would become vacated, Boxa promotions agreed to put Susie on Anthony Mundine’s undercard.Soon after another delay was encountered with the scheduled opponent,which eventually resulted in Susie’s IBF Bantamweight world title becoming vacated.
Being a woman in this sport remains a challenge for Susie howeverbeing a true ambassador of the sport and a role model for many other female athletes she will remain focussed on getting her belt back.
