Born and raised in Delaware County, PA, Gibbs was an All-American standout in basketball and track and field, before taking the world of martial arts and the fight world by storm, winning three World Championships each in Muay Thai Kickboxing and Tae Kwon Do and fighting as a Top Contender in women’s professional boxing.
