In the heart of Dallas, a fighter emerged from the most unlikely of arenas—not the glitzy gyms or amateur leagues, but the unsanctioned, raw underground of club fights, where combatants brawled in crowded rooms, surrounded by the thrum of spectators. Shurretta Metcalf, now celebrated as the “Triple D Fight Queen,” stepped into boxing through this unpolished, gritty scene, driven not by prestige but by sheer will. Her early fights mirrored the challenges in her life, each bout a battle for recognition, survival, and dignity.
Metcalf’s journey reflects an undaunted spirit. Her pro career began with a string of losses—an inauspicious start that would have deterred most. But Shurretta fought on, gradually evolving her style from raw power to disciplined precision, proving her adaptability and resilience. She quickly earned respect locally, defying conventional boxing routes with sheer grit. While most fighters rely on a polished amateur background, Shurretta learned the hard way, fighting seasoned opponents without the safety nets many enjoy.
Her transformation did not go unnoticed. Today, she holds several regional titles, including the IBF Intercontinental Bantamweight title, positioning herself as a formidable force in the ring. However, her story reaches far beyond titles. As a single mother and the mother of a son with autism, Metcalf carries her battles from the ring into her personal life, advocating for autism awareness and engaging in charity work inspired by her journey with her son. She has also built a community presence through her beauty salon, personal training business, and even a bartending service—endeavors that showcase her versatility and dedication to providing a secure life for her family
Metcalf’s career is a beacon for those coming from less privileged backgrounds, a reminder that persistence can create paths where there seem to be none. Her story is not just of a fighter in the ring but of a relentless spirit that refuses to be confined by circumstance. Shurretta Metcalf is a testament to resilience—a woman whose journey from underground fights to the brink of a world title proves that grit, determination, and the courage to stand alone can redefine what’s possible.
