Professional boxing career
Undefeated in her first three professional contests, Lepage-Joanisse unsuccessfully challenged Alejandra Jimenez for the World Boxing Council female World heavyweight title on 12 August 2017 losing by TKO in the third round. After this defeat, Lepage-Joanisse stepped away from boxing for almost six years before making a comeback in March 2023. She became the WBC female heavyweight champion when she defeated Abril Vidal by split decision at the Montreal Casino on 7 March 2024.

Lepage-Joanisse is scheduled to defend her WBC heavyweight title against Claressa Shields at Little Caesars Arena in Detroit, MI on July 27, 2024. The bout is set to be contested at 175 lbs with the vacant WBO light heavyweight belt also on the line.
