(SEPT 19) Historical Female
bout on February 15, 1998, that took place in Biloxi,
Mississippi: Bridgett Riley vs. Yvonne Trevino in a ten-round IFBA World title bout between these two.
Both Bridgett Riley and Yvonne Trevino were inducted in
the past in the International WOMEN'S Boxing Hall of Fame
(IWBHF).
This was the first fight I ever viewed of the 1990's boxers in
1998 when I went live with WBAN in May of 1998--- it was amazing
seeing these two fight in this ten-rounder.
Retired World champion and 2023 International Women's Boxing
Hall of Famer Yvonne Trevino will be one of our special VIP

The fight between Riley and Trevino was the first fight I
had ever viewed of the 1990's boxers in 1998 when I went live with WBAN in May of 1998--- it was amazing seeing these two fight in
