Vegan Hurricane takes the win against tough Vega
Jaime Clampitt-Hayes has just dispatched another opponent in a challenging fight. 'The Hurricane' faced up against Ecuador's Josefina Vega who was eight years younger.
“She came in great shape and was very determined and tough” Jaime told Great Vegan Athletes. “I controlled her with my jab and landed a lot of big right hands and body shots.”
The fight went the distance with Jaime getting the unanimous decision, two judges scoring her the convincing margin of 80-72.
Despite the age difference, it was Jaime with the large fuel tank.
“I really felt amazing and felt like I could have done eight more rounds!” she says. “Very happy with my performance. I just want to keep working hard and I want to keep improving.”
Vegan fighter
Jaime has been completely vegan since January 2013 after experimenting with it at several stages.
“In 2012 I was studying health coaching at the Institute of Integrative Nutrition. We studied many different dietary theories and veganism was one of them. I was so interested in the health benefits in the beginning but as I studied, I learned more about how animals were suffering and mistreated. I became very passionate about it and knew that this was the life that I wanted to live.”
