(SEPTEMBER 19) Orange County, CA; On July 20, 2000 Erin Toughill made her pro boxing debut on a Roy Englebrecht Promotions Battle In The Ballroom show at the Irvine Marriott. Today 23 years later, Roy Englebrecht, CEO of Englebrecht Promotions & Events announced that he has hired Erin Toughill to be the new Vice President of Fighter Relations and Matchmaking for his Southern California based company.

Erin will take over for Englebrecht’s boxing matchmaker Chuck Bosecker who is taking some time off, and current Englebrecht Promotions & Event MMA matchmaker Mel Valenzuela who will continue his matchmaking work for BYB Bare Knuckle and A1 Combat.

“Talk about coming full circle,” said Englebrecht. “Erin has been a friend since she debuted for me and she has attended many of our Fight Club OC shows over the years. What makes this hiring unique is that Erin will be the only boxing and mma matchmaker that actually was a pro fighter herself and will be able to speak to fighters on their level.”

Toughill has been involved in combat sports for nearly 30 years, having competed in three disciplines: boxing, mixed martial arts and bare knuckle boxing. She is the first and only woman to be ranked in the Top Five in both MMA and boxing simultaneously. For the last 20 years Toughill has trained both male and female fighters in all combat sports and for the past four years has been mentoring under Hall of Fame boxing coach Buddy McGirt.

“I am honored that Roy Englebrecht has asked me to join his company as Vice President of Fighter Relations & Matchmaking,” said Toughill.

The next Fight Club OC show is Thursday, October 26th with tickets and show information at www.socafights.com.
