Sue TL Fox had the pleasure of covering two fight cards with Barbara Buttrick

The first card that I covered with Buttrick took place on April 22, 2001, at the Chinook Winds Casino, in Lincoln City, Oregon, when Marischa Sjauw fought Lisa Holywyne for a WIBF World title.  Copyrighted photos by Sue TL Fox

In another card, I covered it with Buttrick on October 20, 2013, at the Seven Feathers Casino, in Canyonville, Oregon, when Sumya "Island Girl" fought Britt VanBuskirk.

Barbara Buttrick, 92 years old Englishwoman and ground breaking pioneer in the sport of Women�s boxing, has been elected to the initial class of the newly established International Women's Boxing Hall of Fame. She will be inducted, along with six other female honorees, at a ceremony on July 10 in Fort Lauderdale, FL, in conjunction with a scheduled national Female Golden Gloves tournament. Buttrick, who founded the Women's International Boxing Foundation (WIBF) in 1989, said from her home in Miami, Florida, 'I'm very excited and proud to be chosen for the first class of this Hall of Fame, which, I believe, going forward, will serve as a lasting recognition of the athletes and others in the boxing community who have contributed to and supported the sport of Women's boxing."

Buttrick enters the IWBHF as one of six former professional fighters being inducted in the initial class: Christy Martin, Lucia Rijker, Regina Halmich and Bonnie Canino from the "modern" era of the sport, the decades of 1990s and 2000, along with Jo-Ann Hagen, a boxer who competed professionally at the same time as Buttrick, in the 1950s. Christy Halbert, the seventh inductee also spent, what she describes as a "short career" as in the professional ring, but is being honored, primarily, as a highly sought after boxing coach and for the pivotal role she played in the successful effort to get the sport of female boxing included in the 2012 Olympics.

While it took the London Daily Mirror 53 years to correct the prejudicial diatribe leveled, in it's pages, at Buttrick, the International Women's Boxing Hall of Fame got it right the first time. Buttrick was an overwhelming choice for inclusion in the initial class of the Hall. It was, in part, recognition of the many hurdles Buttrick overcame in her quest toward the professional boxing ring.

The International Women's Boxing Hall of Fame inducted Barbara Buttrick in July of 2014, in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida.  She was again inducted into the International Boxing Hall of Fame in June 2022.
