LAS VEGAS, NV---On October 6-7, 2023, at the Orleans Hotel & Casino, we are excited to announce that the Mayor of Las Vegas Carolyn Goodman will once again make a proclamation for our event, which is an official announcement issued to recognize a day, week or month that will have a citywide impact. The day of the Induction Ceremony/Dinner event Saturday, October 7th, will have the official proclamation of “Women’s Boxing Day” in the city of Las Vegas.

Previously on August 14, 2021, where we had our IWBHF Event at the Orleans Hotel & Casino, in Las Vegas, we were honored at that time when Mayor Carolyn Goodman made an official proclamation of our event as “Women’s Boxing Day” in the City of Las Vegas.

This year’s event is not only going to celebrate the Tenth year anniversary of the IWBHF, but 25-year anniversary of Women Boxing Archive Network (WBAN). This was the major reason that we decided to invite the 2024 IWBHF Inductees and Special Award Recipients to celebrate this landmark year for both the IWBHF and WBAN, along with the 2023 Inductees and recipients of special awards.

We would like to thank Mayor Carolyn Goodman for honoring our elite IWBHF Inductees and Special Award Recipients at our upcoming event, and to also thank her for issuing an official proclamation for our event that took place in 2021.
