Patricia Falfan Demick (born on January 26, 1972 in Viña del Mar, Chile) is a Chilean-American female professional boxer. Demick's professional boxing career began on March 26, 1999, when she knocked out experienced Karen Rios in the first round, at Hialeah, Florida. She won her next two fights, also by knockout. After winning her first three fights by knockout, Demick and her managing team felt it was time to step up in her opposition's quality level, so Demick fought Puerto Rican Daisy Ocasio and former world champion Marsha Valley, losing back to back six round unanimous decisions to them. After three more wins, she received her first world title try: On June 16, 2001, she fought Valerie Henin in Anchorage, Alaska, for the WIBF world Welterweight title. The fight was declared a draw (tie) after ten rounds, but the scoring was controversial; many fans that saw the fight thought Demick deserved the decision. Boxing, as shallow as it might seem to outside observers, has certain protocol rules. In women's boxing, anyone who has held a world title, no matter for how long, has to be recognized as a world champion by outsiders. Therefore, although Demick really lost that fight and lasted only a few hours as an official world champion, she has to be recognized as such by boxing fans, commentators and writers alike. While she is better known as a boxer, she has also posed as a model for various magazines, often wearing sports bikinis and boxing gloves. This has, in turn, made her kind of an unlikely sex symbol to her fans in Chile, and to women's boxing fans in the United States. Patricia Demick became an American citizen after marrying her American trainer.
