Throughout
almost 20 years via the Women Boxing Archive Network (WBAN), we have
continuously recognized and brought awareness of and attention to the
sport of women's boxing and to its many athletes worldwide. Now, through
the IWBHF we take it a step further by Honoring, Recognizing and
Awarding those who have been an integral part of the sport of Women's
Boxing by sealing their names in the annals of the sport.
During our Inaugural Induction Ceremony (2014) and our 2nd Induction
Ceremony (2015), we inducted some of the sports' pioneers, legends and
supporters. Please visit Link to full
details, photos and videos.
Our events have drawn many people together into one space who are in
some way or form connected to the sport and where networking and
socializing has benefited many of our sponsors and attendees. And with
each induction ceremony we seek to continue to bring many more people
together.
**Note: As we announced last year we are honoring our 2016 and 2017
