SPC Sierra Avilez
Women's Boxing
SPC Sierra Avilez was introduced to Boxing by her father, although she didn’t pick up the sport herself until November of 2014. After some hesitation, her father let her into the ring, and she instantly fell in love with the sport. For Sierra, Boxing is a way to help discover herself, learn discipline, and is used as an outlet to channel her energy in a positive way. Her perseverance led her to become the 2020 Under Armour and USA Boxing Boxer of the Year; and also earn multiple national titles. In February of 2022, Sierra joined the Army as a 92A: Automated Logistical Specialist in order to give back to the country that has given so much to her.
As a U.S. Army Soldier and a dedicated boxer, I embrace the opportunity to showcase my skills on a global stage. However, amidst the cheers and applause, I never forget my duty—I am a Soldier first, boxer second.
