(DEC 24) It has been quite a year in 2019!  We saw some great high-profile female boxing bouts on major networks, many news outlets that covered some of our top female boxers in the sport, and we watched women's boxing in general take a huge step into being in the main stream.

In 2019, I met more female boxers than I could have ever dreamed of meeting for the first time at our International Women's Boxing Hall of Fame Induction event (IWBHF) that was held on August 30, 2019, in Brisbane, California at the Doubletree Hotel,  in conjunction with one of the top amateur shows, the Beautiful Brawlers.

I want to personally thank everyone in the sport who helped WBAN cover the sport, as I have said many times, throughout many years, which is now going into 22 years on the net----WBAN would not be where it is today without all of you.

I want to thank all the sponsors, the IWBHF Board Members, with new IWBHF Board members who were added in 2019 for your dedication to working so hard to keep this organization thriving and the continued work for this organization.

I am hoping that 2020 will bring even a bigger year for the sport, and that we continue to see increased media coverage of these elite athletics, pro and amateur.
