The 26-year-old from Shawinigan, Que., defeated Panama's Atheyna Bylon by unanimous decision for the women's middleweight title. It was a rematch of their 2022 world championship final, which Thibeault also won.
The Canadian had already qualified for next summer's Olympic Games in Paris by winning her semifinal. She will box for Canada at an Olympic Games a second time after reaching the quarterfinals in Tokyo two years ago. Thibeault's bronze medal at the 2019 Pan Am Games in Lima, Peru, was upgraded to silver a year later because of a doping violation by an opponent.
Wyatt Sanford of Kennetcook, N.S., was to later fight for Pan Am gold in men's light welterweight. He also qualified for Paris.
