(MAR 2)  In what is exciting for Oregonians and boxing fans in general, there is an upcoming boxing card featuring a female boxing world title bout. 

The last world title fight that took place in Oregon, took place in June of 2006, at the Seven Feathers Casino Resorts, in Canyonville.  In that bout,  Kelsey Jeffries fought Melissa Hernandez for the IFBA Featherweight World title, where the bout ended in a draw for the two. 

Since, 2006, we will see another world title bout with Layla "Amazing" McCarter fighting Yamilla Reynoso in a ten-round bout for the GBU/WIBF World titles.

This is a history-making event in the state of Oregon that has for the first time a female world title bout where they are vying for two world title belts.

Also, in few states, they allow female boxers to fight three-minute rounds, and in this bout it will not be two-minute rounds, but three!

In Oregon, they have the option to fight either two-minute rounds, and/or three-minute rounds.

With March being the Women's History month - it is a perfect time to have this event feature these two boxers in the mainliner.

Also as special guests, International Women's Boxing Hall of Famer Christy "The Coal Miner's Daughter" Martin and Lisa Holewyne will be at the event as special Guests!

WBAN will be there to cover this event!
