(MAR 4) WBAN has received this week the latest update on Gina Nicholas,
11-5-2 (8KO), of Texas, who has been one of the top-ranked women boxers in
the world and has fought Ann "Brown Sugar" Wolfe among other top women
boxers.
Nicholas, has not been boxing for the last three plus years, and now is on
to a new journey!
WBAN spoke with Nicholas by email, and of all the places that she is at, we
found out she's in Baghdad, Iraq! I asked Nicholas why she was in Iraq
and she told WBAN the following:
"Well, it’s a long story but the highlights are that I came here to
support the troops because first off, I am ex-military and sitting
back home seeing the efforts made me want to help. Then KBR; who is based in
Houston, had a job fair so I was off from work that day and decided to
give them my resume. After about two weeks, I was offered a job as an
Incinerator foreman.
I took a leave of absence from my job to do this and I still have my job
when I return home. While over here, I was sent to a place called Camp
Falcon.
My incinerator had yet to be built, that was my job to build and operate the
incinerator project at this site. As I was waiting on my materials to
be delivered …sometime in June 2004, I began working in the gym. As I was
working in the gym where we have weights, cardio equipment and boxing
bags.....well, I started to train the soldiers (in the gym), etc. So
the military sent a letter of appreciation to the Regional headquarters
about the work I was doing here and the regional manager offered me a
position at another camp as a Fitness/Boxing Supervisor. So next week
I will be moving to Camp Anaconda to start up their boxing and fitness
program. This is what I am doing here." (WBAN put an excerpt of this
response from Nicholas)
