Brawlers that the event took place in Pacifica, California.
Huang Hsiao Wen from Team Taiwan, is a 2020 Olympic Bronze
Medalist. Lupi Gutierrez-Beagle of BabyFace Boxing said it
was an honor to have her compete at the Beautiful Brawlers
International Tournament. Her bout against Army's Lupe
Gutierrez was "Fight of the Night!".
In 2019, Wen won a medal at the 2019 AIBA Women's World Boxing
Championships. In the TaipeiTimes.com article dated August
5, 2021, they wrote the following:
"Taiwanese boxer Huang Hsiao-wen (黃筱雯) yesterday won bronze in
the flyweight category at the Tokyo Olympics, the first medal
Taiwan has ever won in the sport, after falling to world No. 2
Buse Naz Cakiroglu of Turkey in the semi-finals. Huang, who is
competing at the Olympics for the first time, lost 0-5 to
Cakiroglu. Despite the defeat, she won a medal because
athletes who are defeated in a boxing semi-final at the Olympics
are all awarded bronzes, unlike other Olympic sports in which
losing semi-finalists vie for a single medal."
At the time, Huang said that she
was honored to represent her nation, but added that nerves had
got to her and her opponent was more composed.
