Chantal McNamara (Nadon) wins

by unanimous decision!

NEW WKN World Flyweight Champion!

What a fight! What a war! Two great Champions gave it their all and showed a tremendous amount of skill and HEART!

Christine took the first few round in this 10 round fight and landed some good straight punches and great kicks. Chantal took some good shots from Christine but kept coming back with a few of her own. In the middle and later rounds Chantal hurt the French Champion with a kick to the head followed by some good hand combinations. Both girls had some swelling around their eyes but that didn't seem to bother them as they both pressed on for the whole fight. Chantal clearly showed superior dominance in the 6th, 7th, 8th and then again in the 10th and final round when she had Christine up against the ropes and unleashed numerous kick and punch combinations that would have put any lesser opponent flat on the canvas. Christine, who had a Kick-Boxing record of 58 wins, 6 losses and 21 KOS, came into the fight with a tremendous amount of experience and fights over Chantal who now improves her record to 15 wins, 3 losses and 1 draw. Chantal also captured a 4th World title belt in winning this bout earning the prestige's WKN World Flyweight title!!!

Congratulations to both fighters!

You wanna hear about women in Kick-Boxing? Well here is a profile on the Queen of Kick-Boxing, five time World Champion, Chantal McNamara (Nadon)!

Born on February 25, 1971 in North Bay, Ontario, Chantal began studying martial arts in 1986 at the Elite Twin Dragon Martial Arts Centre located in her home town. She graduated from Algonquin Secondary School and went on to obtain a diploma in Recreation Management and Leisure Studies from Canadore College.

Chantal began competing in boxing and won a gold medal at the 1994 Ontario Amateur Boxing Championships in Niagara Falls. In September of 1994, Chantal fought Sue Chase of Ohio to a draw in her first professional Kick-Boxing bout put on by Michael and Martin McNamara of the Twin Dragon Kung Fu & Kick-Boxing Club. Her next fight was featured on Viewer's Choice Pay-Per- chantalmag.jpg (30941 bytes) View where she won by TKO against Elvina Boyce of Detroit.

Chantal went on to win more and more fights, gaining respect and recognition by other competitors and the media as she was named the "North Bay Assassin". She won a unanimous decision over Shirley Prescott of Winnipeg for the FFKA Canadian Featherweight Kick-Boxing title in September 1997. In September of 1998, chantalnews.gif (29213 bytes) Chantal defeated the U.S. Champion, Jena Bertoncello of Seattle, Washington. The unanimous decision win gave Chantal the FFKA World Kick-Boxing title.

On October 10, 1998 Chantal won the ISKA North American leg kick title in San Jose, CA, knocking out her opponent in the second round. This fight was aired on ESPN television.

Chantal has since relocated to Toronto and trains at the Twin Dragon at Yonge & Steeles under the watchful eye of Micheal McNamara. She has recently won 2 more World title belts. The first on Sept. 10th 2000 in Toronto against Agata Garcia Sanchez of Spain to win the World ISKA Super flyweight title in a 10 round unanimous decision. She went on to win chantalshake.jpg (14064 bytes) the World ISKA Flyweight title on May 6th 2001 in North Bay, Ontario defeating Mary Hart of England in another 10 round unanimous decision. The re-match between these two ladies took place on Aug. 16, 2001. Chantal won another unanimous decision and successfully defended her World flyweight title. Her next World title was again a very experienced fighter from France, World Champion, Christine Mourer. It was a close tough fight for the first few rounds but Chantal had the French Champion on her heels in the later rounds and almost out in the corner on a couple of occasions giving the North Bay native a unanimous decision and the title of NEW World WKN Flyweight Champion!!!

The re-match was scheduled months ahead for Ireland on June 7th, 2003 but only days before the match, Christine Mourer backed out claiming she needed more time to train!!! You would think that after 60 odd fights and 3 months of training to go up against Chantal who had a mere 19 fights would be more than enough???!!

During the day Chantal teaches Kick-Boxing with husband, Michael McNamara and takes care of their daughter, Brigitte.
