Tiara Brown, originally from Fort Myers, Florida, chose to make a difference in the streets of Washington, D.C. in 2015, when she decided to join the Washington, D.C. Metropolitan Police Department.
Before she made that decision Tiara was a amateur boxer, who stood out as one of the best female boxers in the sport. She has won gold medals in the USA National Championships three times and also won the gold in the Women's World Championships in China.
With all the success she's had as an amateur, Tiara decided to advance her career in the tough male dominated side of professional boxing. Tiara didn't let the low percentage of success for women in the sport discourage her. She trained even harder to make herself stand out. Tiara trained alongside the men while gaining their respect as a teammate in the gym and not just a female fighter.
With her great amateur background and early undefeated record, Tiara caught the eye of one of the top boxing promoters in the sport, Lou Dibella of Dibella Entertainment. Dibella signed Tiara with great anticipation of her being one of the best female fighters in the sport.
Lou Dibella:
“I am so proud to have signed Tiara Brown,” said Lou DiBella, President of DiBella Entertainment. “She is a terrific fighter and an even better person. Tiara is a fulltime Washington, D.C. police officer, a mentor to kids and teens, and a true role model. She is another example of the strong, empowered women boxers who deserve to have their platform.”
“I’m so honored to be working with Lou and his team,” said Brown. “He works from his heart, especially for his female fighters and I felt great being around him. He’s had a great amount of success with numerous female fighters and, given his track record, this is a perfect fit for me.”
Tiara is holding up on her end of the deal by remaining undefeated with a record of 7-0 with 5 knockouts. Her most impressive win was on December 8th, when she got a four-round stoppage over former world champion Dahianna Santana of Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic.
Last year Tiara Brown received the 2018 Boxing Along The Beltway Prospect Of The Year Award. Tiara let her dedication as a fighter transition to her career as a law enforcement officer. She walks, drives, and rides her mountain bike through the streets, winning the hearts of the people she meets throughout her shift.
Tiara Brown received the Police Officer Of The Year Award from the Washington Metropolitan Police Department.
Tiara Brown:
"Words can't explain the joy I was filled with last night at the Annual Metropolitan Police Awards Ceremony. Honored were just a few of the many Police Officers who go above and beyond in their job to serve and protect the Nations Capitol and DC community. I am honored to have received the Officer of The Year Award and I thank God for my blessings. Thank you to everyone that came out to support the event and thank you to everyone who believes in me & guides me & always has my back in all that I do."
