This study aimed at examining the history and perception of female boxing athletes about their sporting careers regarding sociocultural dimensions. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with seven Brazilian professional female boxers. Methodologically, the study combined the software Analyse Lexicale par Contexte d’un Ensemble de Segments de Texte (ALCESTE) and Content Analysis. After thematic class-based analysis, we discussed the view that female boxing capitalizes few financial incentives and little publicity. We also found that, throughout their history, respondents have faced difficulties in terms of family support and prejudices.
