International Women’s Boxing Hall of Fame!

(FEB 2) WBAN announced that in 2014, we were excited about creating a new organization the INTERNATIONAL WOMEN’S BOXING HALL OF FAME (IWBHF). We have just opened up a Facebook on the IWBHF, and invite you to visit it.  WBAN will have the website up for the IWBHF in the near future.   IWBHF on Facebook

At the present time, we have the board members set in place that will be the following:  Tokyo Rosenthal, Alex “The Bronx Bomber” Ramos, Krysti Rosario, Bernie McCoy, Malissa Smith, Michael O’Neill, Rick McLean, Harvey Johnson, and myself. 

This is a history-first for the women boxers in the sport.  The  International Women’s Boxing Hall of Fame [IWBHF] is to honor the pro female boxers (retired), and men and women who work outside the ring that have significantly attributed to the promotion and development of the sport, and by their participation in the sport and/or contributors, and by the example of their lives, merit acknowledgment by all individuals involved in the sport of boxing.

Recipients must have distinguished themselves in one or more of the following qualifications: A. Recognition as one who has been a leader in the sport to promote or development of the sport of female boxing; B. Through their efforts, they have brought exposure, fame or honor to the sport.

The IWBHF has a long range goal to be at a permanent site in the future.

The IWBHF will contain a pictorial history of each person and various sporting memorabilia that we have available to display on the net.
