(JUNE 28)  The International Women's Boxing Hall of Fame (IWBHF) is celebrating a very special and unique year when we make yet another landmark in the sport commemorate our 10th Year anniversary.  The IWBHF was the first in history to dedicate a hall of fame to honor retired female boxers.  With the IWBHF we include men and women who are and were dedicated "outside the ring" with their contributions.  We also included IWBHF special award recipients for their contributions to the sport.   IWBHF Tickets
