(MAY 17) WBAN was notified this week of a
"Promoter Alert" in regards to World Champion, Jessica "The Cobra" Camara of Montreal, Quebec, Canada
who fought on April 27, 2024, at the Ajou
University, Suwon, in South Korea, defeating Hyun Mi Choi, of Seoul, South
Korea, and not being fully compensated. Camara won a close split decision with Choi,
delivering Choi's first loss as a professional boxer, with Camara winning the
Gold WBA Lightweight World championship.
This high-profile fight was show on Korea Boxing TV, and WBAN wrote a story on
the fight after Camara defeated Choi.
Full Story
Unfortunately....let's now fast forward to what
happened after the fight.....Camara talked about it on this YouTube video.
WBAN received this letter earlier today from Split-T Boxing in regards to this Promoter
Alert. It reads as follows:
WBAN welcomes
Choi's promoters to contact us by email [wban100@aol.com] about this situation.
There is zero tolerance for a boxer to not be paid their purse when they have
signed and agreed to a contract amount.
We hope that it will be resolved----it is now over a year, and there is
absolutely no excuse to do this to any female boxer.
