(JULY 17) 5x World Female Boxing
Champion Chevelle Hallback attended the 2nd International
Women's Boxing Hall of Fame induction ceremony held in Ft.
Lauderdale, Florida at the beautiful Hyatt Regency Pier 66,
where in addition to this memorable event, former World Female
Boxing Champions Bonnie Canino and Yvonne Reis hosted the 2015
National Women's Golden Gloves.
Chevelle Hallback tells WBAN that she was excited about having
attended this year's IWBHF ceremony and of catching up with
former rivals Laura Serrano, Melissa Hernandez, Bonnie Canino,
Alicia Ashley and Jeannine Garside, all former World Female
Boxing Champions, and/or current World Champions and many others
in the sport.
"Seeing so many important women of the sport together in one
place made me proud to be among them. And the little girls at
the National Golden Gloves Finals reminded me of when I was
little and wanted to box. Man, I'm on fire!," said Chevelle.
WBAN asked Chevelle if she intended on fighting again, and
Chevelle said that she's in training right now in Florida.
"I've been in the sport since 1997, that's 18 years that I've
dedicated my life to boxing and that's not counting the years I
boxed before turning pro.
I'm 43 and I feel 20. Right now, I'm preparing to challenge
Erica Farias, Alejandra Oliveras, Ana Laura Estuche, Klara
Svensson, Noni Tenge, Fernanda Alegre, Ornella Domini and of
course a rematch with Cecilia Braekhus. Chevelle said.
Chevelle continues; "I understand that the WBC has the Silver
Welterweight title vacant, I ask Mikaela if she wants to make it
happen let's make it happen at 147lbs, and for the WBC Silver
Welterweight title." WBAN is looking forward to hearing more
about Chevelle Hallback's training and next opponent.
