GWENDOLYN `The Stealth Bomber’ O’Neil met Trinidadian Kim Quashie for the second time on June 3, 2000. O’Neil was still in the infantile stage of her career when the two met in Trinidad and Tobago and quieted the home crowd with a first-round TKO of her opponent. 

It was a fitting payback as the burly Quashie had given the Guyanese an unceremonious start in professional ranks after winning by knockout on O’Neil’s debut on July 31, 1999. The Stealth Bomber’s next defeat came on Boxing Day 2001.
Obviously not having enough to eat that Christmas Day, O’Neil found Trinidadian Melissa Charles enticing and was promptly disqualified in the sixth round for biting by referee Harold Duncan. Undaunted, she returned to snatch the vacant national light heavyweight title in 2003.
O’Neil then became a household name in Guyana when she won a world title at home. At age 34, O’Neil defeated by unanimous decision American Kathy Rivers at the National Park to take the Women’s International Boxing Association (WIBA) light heavyweight title.
The victory earned her the title of being the first Guyanese to win a world title on home soil. Two fights with Laila Ali ended up on the wrong side for the Guyanese. O’Neil last fought in October 2011 and she is scheduled to make a comeback on July 4.
