Setting the Record Straight: It’s Too Late Baby, First Pro Female fight did NOT take place in 1976

In a “Setting the Record Straight”, we found that the original story that reported the HISTORY-FIRST female pro fight that took place in 1976, featuring Yvonne Barclay was a tad bit off.  The first pro bout that WBAN discovered that took place in Canada between two pro female boxers was on June 2, 1959, featuring  Myrna McConvey vs. June Lounder..Full details Link to Story  If there is any bout that was before 1959, contact us with the details.
