2010 AIBA Women’s World Championships Team Bio Blasts
By Julie Goldsticker
August 17, 2010

     
   
   
   
   

(COLORADO SPRINGS, COLO.) – The 2010 Women’s World Championships team members are currently undergoing final preparations before traveling to Dania, Fla., for their pre-event training camp, August 28-September 5. The U.S. squad will take part in a joint training with Great Britain prior to departing for Bridgetown, Barbados on September 6.

The talented squad will look to bring home the first women’s world championships gold medal for the United States since Devonne Canady claimed a world title in the heavyweight division at the first-ever women’s world championships event in Scranton, Pa., in 2001.

Over 300 boxers from 75 nations are scheduled to compete in the sixth edition of the AIBA Women’s World Championships, September 9-18 in Bridgetown, Barbados. The registration numbers are up more than 50 percent from the 2008 event in Ningbo, China, despite a reduction in weight divisions from 13 to 10. In addition, the number of nations has nearly doubled from 42 in 2008 to 75 in 2010.

The event will mark the first women’s world championships event since the IOC decision to add three women’s weight classes to the 2012 Olympic Games. Olympic competition will be contested in the flyweight (112 lbs), lightweight (132 lbs) and middleweight (165 lbs) in London.

The U.S. squad was determined by the 2010 USA Boxing National Championships in July in Colorado Springs, Colo., will all ten champions from the event competing in the 2010 Women’s World Championships. The team will be led by a talented and experienced group of coaches with 2004 Olympic Head Coach Basheer Abdullah (Fort Carson, Colo.) joining former professional boxing champion and elite women’s coach Bonnie Canino (Dania Beach, Fla.) and two-time Women’s World Championships coach Bruce Kawano (Pearl City, Hawaii).
