BIO
Carisse “Taz” Brown is more than a fighter—she is a force defined by resilience, determination, and the courage to begin again.
Born in Lakeland, Florida, Taz discovered boxing at the age of 34, transforming what began as an outlet for stress while caring for her aging parents into a professional pursuit. In just a few short years, she evolved into a powerful presence in women’s boxing, known for her explosive punches, lightning-fast hand speed, and relentless drive.
Under the guidance of respected mentors Laura Ramsey, Bonnie Canino, and Yvonne Reis, Taz sharpened her craft through international bouts across Australia, Mexico, and Colombia. Her professional record—10 wins, 6 losses, and 6 knockouts—reflects both her competitive edge and her ability to perform on a global stage. She captured the Golden Gloves title as an amateur and went on to secure the WIBA International and ABO regional titles, solidifying her place as a rising force in the sport.
In 2024, Taz joined the Orlando Vipers in the Team Combat League, enduring an intense competitive season that further showcased her grit, endurance, and adaptability.
In Hit Like a Girl, Taz’s story becomes something greater than boxing. It is a testament to late-blooming purpose, personal sacrifice, and the unwavering belief that it is never too late to fight for your dreams.
