(JUNE 15) I am happy to report
that WBAN celebrates 15 years now on the net. I find it
absolutely surreal with the whole experience of what I thought I
was initially going to do on women's boxing on the net, and what
WBAN has become throughout the years.
I would like to say and will continue to say, that WBAN would
not be where it is today without the help worldwide by writers,
photographers, boxing fans, the boxing community, the boxers,
trainers, managers, promoters, matchmakers and more...that
without your help I could not have brought this organization to
where it is today.
So with that said, I want to say "Thank You...Thank You....and
more Thanks"...

As most of you know who have
followed WBAN throughout the years, the original intent of WBAN
was to talk about the past female boxers and set the record
straight with the history, which was so inaccurate to the
greatest degree. Little did I even begin to imagine that
the current female boxers, both amateur and professionals,
would begin to contact me about what they were going through in
today's sport.
In conclusion I also would like to give a special "Thank you" to
Dee Williams. Dee continues to be a major source in
covering the sport, with the independent WBAN World ratings, the
top-of-the-line biographies of the women boxers, and all the
other countless contributions Dee continues to provide.
