Mia Rosales St. John, born on June 24, 1967, in San Francisco, California, is an American professional boxer, model, businesswoman, and taekwondo champion. Before her professional boxing career, St. John attended California State University, Northridge, where she earned a degree in psychology. During her time as a student, she achieved a taekwondo record of 27–1, earned a black belt, and modeled to support her education. Her early life experiences laid a foundation for her disciplined career and eventual advocacy.
St. John began her professional boxing career at the age of 29 on February 14, 1997, quickly earning the nickname “The Knockout” after winning her first bout in just 54 seconds. She initially signed with Don King and later Top Rank Boxing, where she fought on the undercards of Oscar De La Hoya. Despite initial success and televised matches, she became known as the “Queen of the Four-Rounders,” a title she found limiting. After leaving Top Rank, she became her own manager and promoter, evolving her career to include significant title bouts. Notably, she sought out trainers Eduardo and Roberto Garcia to refine her boxing skills, focusing on improving her punching techniques, footwork, and defensive strategies, which led to a series of four consecutive wins, including one by TKO.
Her career continued with notable achievements including winning the International Female Boxers Association lightweight world title in 2005, followed by the IBA continental lightweight title. In 2008, at the age of 40, she became the WBC International boxing champion in Mexico, significantly fulfilling a long-held dream. St. John’s career culminated in her capturing the WBC Super Welterweight Championship of the World on August 14, 2012, at 45 years old, in a rematch against Christy Martin. In addition to her boxing career, she transitioned into mixed martial arts in 2008, winning her debut bout by knockout. In current capacity, Mia advocates for mental health, leveraging her personal struggles and professional experiences to help others.
