sharon anyos

5'3" junior welterweight Sharon "Wild Thing" Anyos from Australia is a boxer, kickboxer and karate competitor. Born on 13 October 1970, she began her love affair with the fight game as a "karate kid". Sharon entered her first tournament when she was six years old, and competed in non-contact karate until she was sixteen.

She entered the Australian Koshiki Full Contact Titles in 1986 and won the Australian Women's Title. In 1989 she participated in the Brogoli Championships in Hawaii, and took second place Champion of Champions, second place in Black Belt Fighting and first place in Black Belt Forms. In 1989 she took fourth place in Black Belt Fighting at the Kobota World Cup in Los Angeles.

Winning the Australian Koshiki Full Contact Karate title sparked Sharon's interest in kickboxing and Muay Thai, and in 1989 she won the WAKO Australian Kickboxing Lightweight title with wins over Nadine McDonald and Narelle Rockall. In 1991 she fought to draws with Songul Oruc and Stephanie Curtiss in WKO action, and in 1992 she again defeated Narelle Rockall in WAKO action. A loss to Stephanie Curtiss in 1993 did not deter her, and in 1995 she won an ISKA Australian title by unanimous decision over Debbie Merritt. A successful defense of this title against Merritt in 1996 was followed in 1997 by a TKO of Laura Skinner at 0:10 of the second round in a Muay Thai bout, and a unanimous decision over Holly Ferneley in a kickboxing bout.

In her pro boxing debut, Sharon (126 lb) won the ANBF Women's Junior Lightweight Title by a second-round TKO over Cathy Hawkins (126 lb) on July 4, 1998 at Carrara Basketball Stadium. This was Australia's first ever sanctioned women's boxing bout.
