Black History 365 | 145 Fredia Gibbs

July 29, 2024

This is Fredia Gibbs, better known as “the most dangerous woman in the world.” Fredia Gibbs would move to North Hollywood in 1990 and pursued kickboxing under Rubin Urquidez and David Krapes at Benny “The Jet” Urquidez’s training center. She followed this with further training in Thailand then returned to North Hollywood for training at the Muay Thai Academy of America. When she pursued martial arts competitively, she racked up an impressive 16-0-1 record. The sole draw was via an exhibition draw in a mixed fight. She was dominant between 1994 and 2001 and won three World championships from three different governing bodies. Her first title win in 1994—the ISKA World title—earned her distinction as the first Black women’s champion in the sport.
