(JUN 27) Swedish National amateur boxing champion Asa Sandell has
signed an exclusive promotional agreement with “A Ring of Their Own”
promoters, Rock & Sock
Productions. Sandell, 3-0-1, 168 pounds, joined Rock & Sock
immediately after her knockout victory over Donna Logue in Edmonton.
She joins the rapidly growing stable of “A Ring of Their Own” fighters under
contract to Rock & Sock that includes Elena “Baby Doll” Reid.
“My knowledge about who is who in U.S. boxing is rather limited, but of
course I want to fight the top names: Laila Ali, Ann Wolfe,” Asa said Friday
from Sweden. “I’m flattered to be with the top promoter in women’s boxing.
I’m sure if I do my job, they will do theirs.”
Promoters Arnie “Tokyo”
Rosenthal and partner Ken Weiss
are excited about the addition of Sandell after working with her on their
last three promotions.
“I’m elated and excited to have Asa on board,” stated Rosenthal. “She’s an
exciting, aggressive fighter and if she stays on track this year, she could
be a likely opponent for Laila Ali soon. Everyone who has seen her comes
away impressed with her potential.
“Sweden’s loss is our gain,” commented Weiss. “We’ve now got a five-time
female Swedish national champ in our corner, and she’s ready to make history
in the US.”
Look for more “Rock & Sock” action when Asa Sandell returns to Las Vegas in
late August to fight again on “A Ring of their Own.” Rock and Sock also
plans to feature Asa in their November pay for view special that will be
webcast live throughout the world.
“A Ring of Their Own” is the only all women’s boxing series. It is produced
monthly and distributed to over 30 million TV households in the US and
Canada.
