International Women's Boxing Hall of Fame Announces its 2015 Inductees


FT. LAUDERDALE, Fla. (Dec. 2, 2014) -- The International Women's Boxing Hall of Fame has announced eight women who have been voted into the 2015 class. The group includes six boxers from the modern era of female boxing (1990-2010), one pioneer female fighter of the 1950s and a ring official who trail-blazed past the gender barriers in the field of refereeing. 

The IWBHF induction will be held on July 11, 2015, 1:30-4:30 PM in the Panorama Ballroom of the Hyatt Regency Pier Sixty-Six Hotel in Ft. Lauderdale, FL., in conjunction with the 2015 National Women's Golden Gloves Tournament, the finals of which will be held that evening. 
The eight honorees include: Laura Serrano of Mexico, whose 18 year, 25 bout career included wins over Chevelle Hallbeck and Kelsey Jeffries along with her debut bout, in 1994, against Christy Martin, adjudged a draw but a bout many ringsiders considered a win for Serrano; Dierdre Gogarty of Ireland who compiled a 16-5-2 record over a seven year career and was a participant in what is often considered the first "major" female bout, a six round loss to Christy Martin in Las Vegas in 1996; Jeannine Garside, a hard punching Canadian, who compiled a 10-3-1 record, capping her six year career with a 2010 win over Ina Menzer for the WBC featherweight title. 

The five Americans being honored are: 
Laila Ali, who carried a revered name into the sport of female boxing and lived up to that name with a record of 24 wins without a loss, including 21 KOs; Terri Moss who had 18 bouts during a busy five year career and, following her retirement, has stayed involved in the sport outside the ring as a highly regarded trainer, the force behind one of the most successful "white collar" boxing programs in the country in Atlanta and as a documentary film maker and author effectively depicting and advocating for the sport of Women's boxing; Ann Wolfe a hard punching middleweight who has surely set the sport's record for You Tube views of her spectacular one punch KO of Vonda Ward. In an eight year career, Wolfe, ranked close behind Lalia Ali in the middleweight ranks, put up a record of 24 wins, one loss, generating 16 KOs. Following her retirement, Wolfe has had a successful managing career most notably guiding middleweight James Kirkland; Sparkle Lee (non-boxer category) progressed from refereeing in the amateur ranks to become the first female referee appointed to the NY State Athletic Commission where she has been arbiter in several world championship bouts; Phyliss Kugler (posthumous pioneer boxer category) compiled a reported 55-1 record during the 1950s, her lone loss coming against Barbara Buttrick in a return bout following a four round draw with Buttrick, last July's IWBHF pioneer boxer inductee. 

The 2015 inductees will bring to fifteen the number of honorees inducted into the IWBHF in the initial two years and this July's ceremony is expected to generate the same type of fan and media excitement and exposure that the initial event engendered. The IWBHF induction ceremony is a signal event that serves to raise the awareness of the sport of Women's boxing by honoring those individuals who have significantly contributed to the sport and who, in many cases, continue to be active in support, advocacy and growth of the sport.

Sue Fox. founder of WBAN, the "Internet site of record for Women's boxing," and the prime mover behind the concept, creation and implementation of the IWBHF, looks forward to July 11: "I'm thrilled to have our 2015 Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony in conjunction with the National Women's Golden Gloves in Ft. Lauderdale, FL., again this year. The opportunity to locate the ceremony where there will be so many associated with the sport at one event will prove a very fitting way to honor our 2015 IWBHF inductees."   
Sponsorship and advertising opportunities:
   
The IWBHF offers a variety of advertising and sponsorship opportunities to showcase your company, including sponsorships during our ceremony, in all press releases, and will include logos of your company on our websites with direct links to your company, and will announce your company worldwide on the day of the event as it will be webcast live.  For more information, Go Here http://www.wbanmedia.com/sponsor-page2.htm

World Champion Tori Nelson to Defend Title against Victoria Cisneros, Former Redskins LB Mike Balogun Added to Nov. 15 Jimmy Lange Boxing Card


Fairfax, VA --- With less than three weeks to go before its November 15th card at the Patriot Center, Jimmy Lange Boxing officials announced the following updates:

Undefeated world champion Tori “Sho-Nuff” Nelson (11-0-1, 3 KOs), will defend her Women’s International Boxing Association (WIBA) Welterweight title against Victoria Cisneros (11-16-2, 4 KOs) of Albuquerque, NM in the 10-round Co-Main Event.  Nelson is coming off a tough split-decision win against Australian Arlene Blencowe on September 27, 2014 in Annandale, VA.  The popular Ashburn, VA fighter captured the WIBA belt by defeating Vashon Living at the Patriot Center in 2012, her second bout at the George Mason University facility. Cisneros is coming off two straight losses. However, both were world title bouts against impressive competition:  an 8-round TKO to Chevelle Hallback for the vacant World Boxing Federation female welterweight title on August 22, 2014 and a unanimous decision for Rola El Halabi for three light welterweight belts - vacant WIBA, World Boxing Federation (WBF) and vacant Universal Boxing Federation (UBF) on May 10, 2014.

Upper Marlboro, MD native Mike Balogun (1-0, 1 KOs), a former NFL linebacker who spent time on the Washington Redskins practice squad, as well as stints with the Dallas Cowboys, Buffalo Bills, San Francisco 49ers and Indianapolis Colts between 2010 and 2012, will compete in a 4-round heavyweight contest (opponent TBD). A University of Oklahoma Sooner defensive standout who started boxing six months ago, Balogun scored an impressive 2nd-round TKO over Maurice Womack in his professional debut on October 23, 2014 in Washington, D.C.

Thomas Brown (15-4-2, 9 KOs) of Rock Hill, SC will replace Ronald Hearns in a six-round bout against former middleweight Jonathan Reid (35-15, 9 KOs) who was a teammate of Lange’s on the first season of The Contender  reality TV show.

Todd “White Lightning” Wilson (16-0, 5 KOs) suffered an ankle injury in training camp this week and will not be able to compete. Additionally, former world champion DeMarcus “Chop Chop” Corley is no longer on the card because an opponent could not be secured.

Doors will open at 6:00 pm, with the first fight scheduled to begin at 7:00 pm. "Lange-Jeter 2: The Rematch" is presented by Jeff Valcourt and Valcourt Building Services.

Tickets, priced at $50, $75, $125, $250 and $500 (plus applicable service charges), can be purchased through all Ticketmaster outlets, including the Patriot Center box office, online at www.ticketmaster.com/ and via Phonecharge at 1-800-745-3000.

"I'm happy to feature Jarrell and Peter alongside other champions and top prospects. This is a packed card, with great talent on display from top to bottom!"
 
An Irish Jr middleweight, Dennis Hogan, is also ready to impress, putting his 19-0-1 mark on the line. He's been fighting in Australia and wants to test himself in the top market in the world, New York and America. The WBC Fecarbox title will be up for grabs at The Space. The popular Tommy Rainone, who fights out of the Westbury Boxing Club, seeks to take it home. The 21-5-1 hitter hasn't lost in his last five outings, so he wants to continue the trend in front of friends and family.

Marston: World Title Shot Offer Makes Saturday’s Fight A Must Win Situation



Just a few days before she steps in the ring to challenge Marianna Gulyas for the MBC International Super Bantamweight title, TRAD TKO’s Marianne ‘Golden Girl’ Marston receives an invitation to challenge Australia’s reigning Women’s International Boxing Association (WIBA) Super Bantamweight World Champion Shannon O’Connell for her coveted crown.

If stepping in the ring with Hungarian #1, European #3 and World #31 ranked Marianna Gulyas in just four days time isn’t enough pressure for the British #1, the guarantee of an opportunity to challenge O’Connell, a two time World Champion, in February 2015 has just upped the anti for the ‘Golden Girl’ ahead of this Saturday’s title clash at the York Hall in Bethnal Green.

When told of the offer Marianne appeared to shrug the whole thing off, however when she spoke a little later it was clear that she is overjoyed, just that her focus is on Saturday’s MBC International title fight with Marianna Gulyas.

“It’s an honour to have been approached to fight Shannon, she’s a two time World Champion, one of, if not the best in the division, so of course I want the fight, I want to fight the best, I want to be World Champion.

The WIBA is the most prestigious of Women’s titles, not just because it is the longest established, but because it attracts the top fighters, I am truly honoured to be deemed a suitable challenger.

Without doubt the offer at a shot at Shannon’s title makes Saturday’s fight a must win situation, but in my eyes beating Marianna Gulyas on Saturday is already a must win situation for me.

Right now I’m focusing on just the one thing, being ready to fight and beat Marianna, I’m not just saying this but I really want to win the MBC International title more than anything in the World.

Once I have that belt in my possession, then and only then can I begin to contemplate any other fight.”

Marianne’s promoter, Dave Murphy, made it clear to WIBA president Ryan Wissow that should Marianne take up the challenge, he wants the fight to take place in the UK, to which Mr Wissow responded.

I'm very excited about the WIBA possibly sanctioning our first fight in a Great Britain next year.

We pride ourselves as being a leader in this sport.

I know Shannon is up for any challenge, and Marianne wants this shot.

Hopefully this is the first of many fights we sanction in England.”

However as Marianne stated, first she has to beat Marianna Gulyas on Saturday night.

Marianne Marston versus Marianna Gulyas, for the MBC International Super Bantamweight Championship, headlines the Dave Murphy Acourtier Events promoted CAPITAL PUNISHMENT event at York Hall in Bethnal Green, London on Saturday 25thOctober.

Tickets, priced £35 (Standard Seated) and £60 (Ringside) are available direct from the TRAD TKO Gym, on-line at www.tkoboxoffice.com or call 07960 850645.

Rock With Punch – Trapt ‘Bring It’ For Golden Girl’s Oct 25thTitle Fight


Multi Platinum selling Californian Rock band TRAPT have collaborated with British Professional boxer Marianne 'Golden Girl' Marston, to create a joint promotional video for both their November UK tour and Marianne’s upcoming Championship fight, that takes place in London on October 25th.



The video features Trapt powering their way through the sensational ‘Bring It’, from their 2013 Reborn album, interlaced with action from Marianne’s previous title fight.

The unusual collaboration came about when Marianne contacted Trapt’s Chris Taylor Brown with a view to using ‘Bring It’, both for her upcoming fight promo video as well as her ring walk music on the night, Chris was more than happy to oblige, however he also hinted at something far removed from the standard boxing promo.

Sure enough Marianne loved the concept and on learning that Trapt were due to tour the UK, just a few weeks after her fight, suggested that the video could be used to promote the tour also, which peaked Chris’ interest.

Within days the band’s element of the video was sent to London, where footage of Marianne’s previous WBU European title fight against Hana Horacova was edited in to produce the promo video -http://youtu.be/WrDWRZZB6f8

Speaking from his home in California Chris said.

Marianne is exactly the kind of competitor that "Bring It" talks about - Someone who is not afraid to show people that they will not be beaten.

As a huge fan of women's boxing and boxing in general, it was an honor to have Marianne suggest coming together to make a new "Bring It" video to spread the word about her Oct 25 fight and Trapt's upcoming UK Tour 16 Nov to 23 Nov!

The video is cut with footage of Marianne doing what she does best!”
