(JAN 12) At the WBF (World Boxing
Federation) convention that was recently held convention in Albania,
the WBF unanimously elected Butch Gottlieb from the USA as their
commissioner of Women's Boxing.
Gottlieb's goals are very simple---to have credible champions in
credible fights.
"I believe that titles and title shots must be earned and not handed
out just to fill a vacant title. I want to see more girls from
the USA going to Europe to fight for and to defend titles and not
have to worry about getting the short end of the scoring because the
opponent is the promoters fighter. An A-level playing field is all
the girls ask for and they deserve just that and I will strive to
see that happens", said Gottlieb.
