(JAN 9) The International
Women's Boxing Hall of Fame (IWBHF) is proud to announce our
2017 IWBHF Inductees. Those to be honored include
Aileen Eaton (posthumous); Holly Holm; Daisy Lang;
Ria Ramnarine; Ana Marie Torres; and
Throughout almost 20 years via
the Women Boxing Archive Network (WBAN), we have continuously
recognized and brought awareness of and attention to the sport
of women's boxing and to its many athletes worldwide. Now,
through the IWBHF we take it a step further by Honoring,
Recognizing and Awarding those who have been an integral part of
the sport of Women's Boxing by sealing their names in the annals
of the sport.
During our Inaugural Induction Ceremony (2014) and our 2nd
Induction Ceremony (2015), we inducted some of the sports'
pioneers, legends and supporters.
Our events have drawn many people together into one space who
are in some way or form connected to the sport and where
networking and socializing has benefited many of our sponsors
and attendees. And with each induction ceremony we seek to
continue to bring many more people together.
**Note: As we announced last year we are honoring our 2016 and
2017 inductees at this year's tentative Induction Ceremony which
we anticipate hosting in California. . . We will have more
information published soon.
Our 2016 Honored Inductees are:
The IWBHF's
fundamental mission is to continue to honor, recognize and award

years.
This year (Summer of 2017), we anticipate hosting our Induction
