(JULY 13) The International
Women's Boxing Hall of Fame (IWBHF) is happy to announce the
latest addition to our event that takes place on Saturday,
October 22, 2022, at the Orleans Hotel & Casino, Las Vegas,
Nevada.
We have quite a line-up thus far for our IWBHF Induction
Ceremony that is definitely a "Don't Miss History-Making Event".
We will be celebrating the largest class ever for our
organization that is 16 IWBHF inductees for 2022.
Our theme this year is
"Celebration" especially after what we have endured in the last
two years. We are anticipating a sold-out affair with
honoring not only our 2022 Inductees but those receiving special
awards for what they have accomplished in the sport.
So without further ado.....Here
are some updates!
Earlier today we confirmed that
high-profile and celebrity Christy "The Coal Miner's
Daughter" Martin who just got inducted into the
International Boxing Hall of Fame---and also she is one of our
inductees from 2014 will be a special guest. Martin will
have her book-signing available during our "Meet and Greet"!
