When Jennifer Ogg signed up an Ironman race in Cozumel, Mex., she had no idea that months later, she’d get the call to be inducted into the Canadian Boxing Hall of Fame.

The retired officer with the London Police Service couldn’t attend the ceremony Saturday in Sarnia, Ont., but told CTV News she’s both sad and thrilled at the same time.

“I wish I could be there, but to have my name alongside guys like Troy Ross, it's a definitely a huge honour and a celebration for those who helped me get there,” said Ogg.

Ogg is one of Canada’s all-time great female boxers.

She is a four-time national champion and finished her career with a 69-7 record, including 14-1 in international bouts.

Ogg became the first female boxer in Ontario to win a World Amateur Championship when she captured the title in 2002 in Antalya, Tur.
