celebratory event in Women’s boxing, the International Women’s

to draw the sold out attendance that has epitomized this event

This year’s ceremony will also highlight three historical
sidebars: the first time twin sisters, Cora and Debra Webber

daughter and mother, Tracy and Rose Byrd and the fact that in
addition to her IWBHF induction, a week earlier, October 15,
2022, Eliza Olson will be honored with induction into West Coast

the 7’ high historical banner by every female boxer.
