(APR 17)
It is with sincere humility and great pleasure that I announce
reigning WIBA Middleweight champion, and
former WBC Middleweight World Champion Wang "The China Girl" Yanan's forthcoming U.S. Debut alongside her Mentor/Manager
Michael Yang. Michael Yang has shared with me that Yanan has her
sights on the Top Echelon of Women's Boxing in the Welter, Jr.
Middle and Middleweight categories.
Discussions for a bout between respected Legend of the sport
Christy Martin and "The China Girl" was in its final stages
prior to Christy being injured by Jim Martin; her former
husband, last November. Yang and Yanan look forward to an
opportunity of commencing discussions for a bout against any of
the sports' Top fighters; even if it means going up against
Christy for Christy's WBC Jr. Middleweight Title, so I am
told...
The Yanan camp endeavors coming to the States and competing on
every occasion possible. My understanding is that "The China
Girl" is preparing to make her presence felt in the sport. She
has respect and a deep passion for the sport and the women in
it... But... We shall see what promoter would dare take on the
feat of putting on multiple women bouts and even headlining them
alongside the well-known figures of the sport, male and female,
on television and pay-per view broadcasts?
I feel that the sport of Women Boxing is about to take on a new
'Attitude' and the women in the sport are going to support and
promote themselves and each other. Which reminds me of the
writing shared by Gianluca (Rio) Di Caro on Olivia Goodwin, I
truly pray that Ms. Goodwin's efforts, professionalism and
passion for the sport does not go unrecognized. Then there's Ms.
Miranda Carter, Wanda "The Fight Lady" Bruce, Bonnie Canino, The
Much Loved Sue Fox, Mischa Merz and, many others whom support
the sport of Women Boxing with Genuine and Sincere Passion.
Thank you Ladies!
We have the avenues available to us where we can collect and
share our tools in order to begin making a change towards
reaching our goals. I call sort of a "Geneva Convention" which
we can call "The Pugil Convention," of all boxers, managers,
trainers, sanctioning bodies, and promoters (Internationally)
into session. How many of us out there can come together and
advocate for a CHANGE in the sport? We have the most powerful
tool of them all - THE COMPUTER... Let's begin an international
drive/communication towards that change by finding those
promoters willing to give these women athletes a fair shot at
competing at the highest level of the sport with the similar
exposure, if not the same opportunities and percentages given to
their counter-parts in the sport.
I have labored long and hard communicating with promoters
foreign and domestic in regards to the aforementioned. To few, I
have become "a thorn on their side" due to my advocacy on behalf
of the athlete, and to many others, (a couple who have become my
mentors), I have become a confidant and 'the-go-to-guy' in
several instances. I am confident that if we bond in an effort
to broaden the opportunities available to these women athletes
they will have a better chance at being a part of "that Change."
It has already begun in many countries around the world that
will be sending a women's boxing team to compete and represent
their respective countries in the 2012 Summer Olympic Games.
On another note; It also a pleasure to have worked alongside
Chevelle Hallback and Bill Calogero (Billy C) to seal a Multiple
Title bout against undisputed Welterweight Champion Cecilia
Braekhus on May 7th 2011, in Copenhagen, Denmark, on the
Holyfield vs. Nielsen Undercard. A public thank you to both
Chevy and Billy "C" for allowing me to be a 'key' part in
Chevelle's competing for The WBA, WBC and WIBA Welterweight
Crowns and, specifically to Mr. Hagan Doering and Ms. Michele
Low of NISSE Sauerland for their professionalism and Passion in
working with me. May the event be Memorable for All! And of
course a "Special" thank you to Sue Fox for making it possible
for us to come together via this wonderful avenue of
'transparent communication,' WBAN...
Those of you who can concur with my Work Ethics know whom you
are... Thank You also for believing in me!
