(MARCH 4) On February 29, 2020,
at the St. Petersburg Marriott Clearwater, in Saint Petersburg,
Florida, Laura "Lady Ram" Ramsey, 256¾, fought Gwendolyn
O'Neil, 240¼, winning by a fourth round TKO in a scheduled
six round bout, and winning the ABO Heavyweight Title.
Ramsey has fought professionally
since 2004, with an ending record of 11-7-1 (6KO). She
holds a world middleweight championship with the GBU. and by
winning this last bout, she is going out #1 in the World in the
Heavyweight Division.
In a pre-fight interview, Ramsey
said, 'My training camp did not go as planned. I had a death of
a family friend, so that affected me. About two years ago, I
wanted to retire and Gwendolyn reached out to me. Over the last
couple of years, we spoke a few times about doing this rematch
and she was interested."
She went on to say that her first
fight with O'Neill was on a card promoted by her people.
This time around Ramsey's fight is promoted by her desired
promoters.
Ramsey said, "this is a fight
that I HAVE TO WIN. I want to even the score with her. We are
both 50 years old and the combined age has to be a record. I
don't think any fight has a combined age of 100, so not only
will this be a great fight, but it will be historical."
WBAN would like to give a
congratulations to Ramsey for her win on Feb. 29th and wish her
the best in her retirement of fighting professionally.
