Women’s world title fights are 10, 2-хвілінныя патроны, ня 12, like in the IBA. “
“There is a new wave of women’s boxing, led by Claressa Shields, Кэці Тэйлар, Аманда Серрано and so many other rising female stars worldwide. The IBA plans to be in the forefront and we recently crowned our first woman world champion, strawweight Eva Guzman, of Venezuela.
