From a young age, she has been around boxing. First because her older brother was a boxer and then when the bug effected her. Today, she holds distinction as a national medal winner.

Chasity Funseth fought twice at the 2008 Womens National Golden Gloves championships earlier this month in Florida earning a prestigious silver medal at the annual event.

The 17-year old amateur boxer from the northern Flint suburb of Otisville defeated Louisiana’s Geni Taylor to advance to the finals before losing a 4-1 decision to a less-experienced but older Monica Rumler at 125-lbs.

Funseth (6-4) fights out of the Lapeer Boxing Club and is trained by Mike Dinnan.
