For nearly two decades, I have dedicated my time, energy, and voice to
advocating for the women who step into the boxing ring.
Long before women's boxing gained the recognition it enjoys today, they were
fighting a different battle—one for fairness, respect, and opportunity.
“My Passion” has never been about personal gain. It has always been about
ensuring that female boxers receive the representation, compensation,
recognition they deserve.
While others have entered the sport seeking to profit from its rapid growth, I
have remained committed to protecting the athletes who have built it.
Women's boxing cannot continue to grow on the backs of fighters who are kept in
the dark about the business that governs their careers. Promotional agreements
and management contracts should be transparent, fair, and publicly accessible.
Athletes deserve to know the terms under which they compete, and the sport
benefits when accountability replaces secrecy.
Equally important is the responsibility of boxing commissions and sanctioning
bodies. They exist to protect the integrity of the sport and the welfare of its
participants. That responsibility includes ensuring that individuals and firms
with little or no genuine commitment to boxing—or with histories of putting
profits ahead of athletes—are not simply handed influence over the future of the
sport.
Women's boxing has earned its place on the world stage through the courage,
sacrifice, and determination of its athletes. Its future should be guided by
those who have consistently demonstrated a commitment to the sport and its
competitors—not by opportunists who arrive only after the hard work has been
done.
Advocacy is not always popular, and meaningful change rarely comes without
resistance. But after nearly twenty years of standing up for female boxers, the
mission remains unchanged: to fight for better representation, fair
compensation, transparent business practices, and a sport governed by integrity
rather than self-interest.
The future of women's boxing depends not only on the champions inside the ring,
but also on those willing to champion their rights outside of it.
