(APR 2) Early today WBAN learned from news sources across the net that Rola El-Halabi was shot just prior to her entering the ring to fight last night in Germany at about 11:00 p.m. Apparently from these reliable Internet sources, the alleged attacker was none other than her step father, Roy El-Halabi who was her former manager as of January. WBAN does not know the condition of Rola at this time.

The news reports state that the shooting incident occurred in her dressing room, just before she was to  fight and that eight fights on the card had already taken place.

One source is stating that she was shot in the hand, knee and feet---that is unconfirmed at this point.

El-Halabi was set to fight Balijagic Adler for the vacant IBF lightweight title, and the fight was scheduled to be the last fight on the card.

This is the second shooting of a female boxer in less than one year. Christy Martin was shot and stabbed late last year by her husband Jim Martin who is presently incarcerated for those offenses and is awaiting trial.
