Mia Rosales-St. John was born in San Francisco, California, on June 24, 1967. Her fighting career started soon after, at the age of six competing in Tae Kwon Do, where she earned a black belt and a record of 27-1. While she was earning her black belt, Mia was also putting herself through college by modeling for posters and calendars. Mia received a Bachelors Degree in Psychology from California State University of Northridge in June of '94.
In 1996, Mia decided to pursue her true passion full-time, the sport of combat. Valentines Day, 1997, Mia made her pro-debut in boxing, knocking out her opponent in fifty-four seconds into the first round. She has continued to live up to her billing "THE KNOCKOUT" ever since.
Mia signed with Don King and stayed with him for a year and a half before she dropped King for his rival Bob Arum of Top Rank. At Top Rank, Mia spent four years opening for all of Oscar De La Hoya's major fights.
In the November 1999 issue of Playboy magazine, Mia appeared on the cover along with an eleven page celebrity pictorial. Mia insisted the pictures maintain a boxing theme so that the world would know she is a fighter first and foremost because as Mia's mother once told her "Fighters are not made, they are born and my daughter was born a fighter."
On October 2001, Mia St. John fought to become a free agent so she could pursue one of her dreams - to fight Christy Martin. December 2002, Mia got her wish and went 10 amazing rounds with Martin.
As well as being an awesome boxer, Mia is media savvy. She has made appearances on such shows as, Jay Leno, Conan O'brien, "Good Morning America," "Entertainment Tonight," "Extra," "The Best Damn Sports Show," "E," and countless others. She has also acted in commercials and played herself on the t. v. show "Pacific Blue." Mia also has her own Playstation game by EA sports.
Currently her own production company recently produced her exercise DVD "Million Dollar Workout."
And as of June 12th, 2005 Mia became the new IFBA Lightweight Champion of the world when she defeated Liz Drew of Troy Missouri.
Mia's team includes her trainer Robert Garcia, Fredia Gibbs, and her mother, Maria Rosales (who has assisted Mia in her corner her entire fight career).
