Caroline Veyre Takes the WBC Silver Belt Against Licia Boudersa
Caroline Veyre defeated Licia Boudersa to win the WBC Silver featherweight title on July 26, 2025. Their ten-round contest at Little Caesars Arena in Detroit ended in a unanimous decision, with scores of 99–91, 99–91 and 98–92.
How the story unfolded
The matchup brought together two French-born boxers pursuing their first WBC-sanctioned title. Veyre, who represents Canada, entered the assignment with nine professional victories and one defeat, while Boudersa brought a much longer professional record.
Veyre’s win extended her progress from international amateur competition into the professional championship ranks. Her earlier experience included representing Canada at the Tokyo Olympics and winning gold at the 2015 Pan American Games before beginning her paid career.
The result and its significance
The Detroit opportunity was a regional championship step at featherweight. The Silver belt gave the victory a specific sanctioning-body significance while remaining distinct from winning the full WBC world championship. Veyre completed the distance and received every judge’s support against Boudersa.
The event also featured Samantha Worthington’s majority-decision victory over Victoire Piteau and Claressa Shields’s successful undisputed heavyweight defense against Lani Daniels. Veyre’s performance supplied another milestone for women’s boxing on the same card, turning an experienced opponent and a ten-round assignment into a clear points victory and a new title in her developing professional career.
