Career

Youth

Cavanagh started her national team career in 2018, by winning gold at the 2018 Youth World Championships in Budapest, Hungary.[2] Cavanagh therefore became the first ever Canadian youth world champion.[3][4]

Senior

After not competing since 2019, Cavanagh was named to Canada's 2022 Pan American Championships team just days before the event.[5] Cavanagh would go on to lose in the semifinals to Brazil's Beatriz Soares in a unanimous decision.[6] However, Cavanagh would win the bronze medal and qualify for the 2022 IBA Women's World Boxing Championships.[6]

At the 2022 IBA Women's World Boxing Championships, Cavanagh qualified to compete in the gold medal match and guarantee herself at least a silver medal.[7][8] Cavanagh would go on to win the silver medal, losing to Turkey's Busenaz Sürmeneli after the referee stopped the contest.[9][10]
