Undisputed Welterweight Champion Jessica McCaskill looking for Biggest names in Boxing
McCaskill eying showdowns with Taylor and Shields |
芝加哥, IL (三月 17, 2021) – Fresh off her second consecutive victory over future Hall of Famer, 塞西莉亚Braekhus, undisputed welterweight champion, Jessica McCaskill is looking to fight the biggest names on the female circuit. McCaskill of Chicago, easily outpointed the legendary Braekhus by scores of 100-89, 99-90 和 98-91 to win her fifth consecutive and raise her record to 10-2. “I felt my aggression was really good, just keeping the pressure non-stop, and we are ready for what is next. She was running in, and crowded herself, and I figured if she was going to run in, I would have to get at least one or two shots off, and she kept doing it, so I kept doing it as well. I wanted to move and show some more angles, but she kept coming straight in, so she was right there,” said McCaskill. |
“A fight with Katie Taylor might be the next thing on the agenda. If that is what it is, that would be great. If that does not work out, then there are a couple of other names out there. As for Claressa Shields, McCaskill thinks a fight with her can happen, “That could be a possibility if Claressa could come down to 147 英镑. 首先, she said that she would not give up any weight, and now she is saying she would, so we are just going to have to see if they are going to take this seriously.” Said McCaskill’s promoter, 勇士拳击莱昂Margules, “Jessica proved yet again that she is one of the top fighters in the world. She has now dominated the fighter that has been the long-time pound for top boxer. We would love to fight anyone, and a fight with Katie Taylor would most certainly have a different outcome then their first fight. Fights with Taylor or Claressa would be historic fights as it would match two of the reigning undisputed champions against each other.” Photos/Matchroom Boxing |

FED UP FEMALE BOXERS DEMAND FAIRNESS AND A PLATFORM
Boxing’s top female athletes have no “家”, no network to showcase their talent |
即时发布 纽约 — As women continue to make strides toward equality across industries, boxing and its media partners remain in the past by disenfranchising women from a fair opportunity to showcase their skills and earn a living. In the same year that America elected its first female Vice President, a woman of color, the elite women athletes that top the world rankings have no regular television platform or boxing series. Nowhere is this unfair playing field more apparent than in the United States and North America. The overwhelming majority of top females in boxing have not fought in 2020, or have not fought since January. The pandemic has hit women in boxing even harder than it has hit the men. The picture wasn’t rosy before Covid-19 and, without action, there is no reason to believe that it will improve. This impacts all women in American boxing, from stars Claressa Shields and Amanda Serrano, to reigning world champions, to six-round and four-round fighters. Other than a handful of athletes, most female boxers must hold down a full-time or part-time job to make ends meet. 阿曼达·塞拉诺, 希瑟·哈代, Ava Knight and others have pursued opportunities in MMA to supplement their income and avoid inactivity. Claressa盾, the most acclaimed woman in American amateur history, 两届奥运会金牌得主, and a proven attraction, is presently without a platform and just announced a multi-year deal with the Professional Fighters League. The unified champion from Flint, 密歇根, told The Athletic that, “这是 (拳击) a sexist sport. It’s sexist with the opportunities we’re given. It’s sexist with the TV time. It’s sexist with how much we get paid. 三个全部. It’s fine for a female boxing star to try her hand at MMA. They shouldn’t be compelled to do so for lack of opportunities.” “These women consistently deliver great fights and solid viewership numbers,” 说娄DiBella, who promotes more women than any other US promotional entity. “They put people in seats, and viewership of their events often rivals the men. These aren’t club level fighters. They are elite world champions and, without television, without a regular platform, they can’t be financially secure or build any kind of fan base. It’s remarkable that women’s boxing is growing its talent pool and raising its stature, given the scarce television and streaming slots that are reserved for female fighters. This is a testament to the resiliency and dedication of boxing’s female athletes, who deserve better.” Local promoters, who are in the business of growing fighters and filling seats, can offer spots on their cards and regional exposure, but purses are very limited without television revenue. Female fighters’ purses are often limited to a percentage of tickets they sell out of hand. At the top levels, women are passed over. 希瑟·哈代, a DiBella Entertainment fighter, has seen the difference in the growth of boxers of both genders. “At press conferences, I sit at a seat at the very end, with the rest of the undercard fights,” 哈迪说. “I watch the boys go from sitting next to me at the end of the table, to moving up to the main card, then the co-main, and then the main event, but my seat never moved. No matter how much press I got, no matter how many fights I won, I never moved. Systemic sexism didn’t allow me to move.” “It isn’t like we are a separate organization like the WNBA. We are only provided with token opportunities, fighting on the same cards, often in much more competitive fights than the men, and still aren’t treated fairly,” 哈迪说. “We have no place or professional home of our own.” “This trickles down to aspiring female boxers and the amateur programs,” DiBella continued. “Young women in boxing need to see other women on the big stage. They need to see women that look like them on television and on streaming platforms. They need to know that if they pursue a boxing career, there will be sufficient opportunities to be seen showcasing their talents, for fair wage. If women are able to headline a boxing event, or capable of selling a significant percentage of a live gate, they should not be paid ten to twenty percent of what similarly situated men are paid. We’re not sending the right message here, and there’s no good reason for it in the 21st century.” The pool of talent available to women in the pro ranks is smaller, but it forces the best matchups. It forces women to fight outside of their weight classes. “Jessica McCaskill just won unified world titles, and wants to fight me at 147,” said Amanda Serrano, seven-division world champion. “She called me out at 147! It’s kind of sad. Good for us if it makes sense, but the truth is, they’re calling out champs at 126. That is four different weight classes to go up. Men don’t have to do that! Women are constantly forced to compromise ourselves just to get a chance.” The talent pool won’t increase unless younger generations are inspired by women on television and streaming – women who can fight as well as, and often better than, the men who are on television now. It’s time to stop asking nicely. It’s time for women boxers to demand fairness and stability, and it’s up to network executives, 传媒, and those who control access to media platforms, to stop living in the past. It’s time for women in boxing to fight for themselves and for the right to earn a living. And it’s now a time for action. Use the hashtag #WeKeepFighting to follow the movement and to join the conversation on social media. |
Sa'Rai Brown-El : The future of women’s boxing – 2020 美国拳击国民, 十二月. 5-12, 什里夫波特, 路易斯安那州
科罗拉多斯普林斯, 膝部. (十一月 9, 2020) – The future of women’s boxing, 也许, is 15-year-oldSa'Rai Brown-El, who has already captured top honors in 11 national and regional tournaments.
Since she started boxing in 2015, Sa’Rai has collected gold medals at the 2019 少年公开赛, 2019 国家PAL, 2019 & 2017 全国少年奥运会, 2017 西部地区公开赛, and Eastern Regional Open in 2017, 2018 and 2019.
“I stayed focused and hungry and, 最重要的, 谦卑,” she spoke about her success in the junior division. “No matter how much you’ve accomplished or the number of accolades you’ve gotten, always stay hungry and always strive for more.”
Boxing started for her when she was 10, training at Lugo Boxing and Fitness in Marietta, Georgia. Prior to that in her native Albany (纽约), she went to her uncle’s gym and found a pair of boxing gloves.
“I fell in love with boxing when I found that first pair of gloves,” Brown-El explained. “I first started boxing because, 当时, my dad didn’t agree with me. I saw a lot of people who didn’t agree with females competing in a male dominated sport, so I wanted to prove those people wrong. I just love boxing because my whole family boxes.”
The COVID-19 pandemic adversely effected most boxers, who were limited in terms of training and sparring, in addition to being shutout of tournaments. Brown-El, 然而, made the best of a bad situation, running miles with her siblings, cardio mitt work with her father, and much more.
Brown-El has her sights firmly set on the 2020 美国拳击全国锦标赛, 十二月 5-12, 在什里夫波特的什里夫波特会议中心, 路易斯安那州。
“I am super excited and super focused on the National Championships,” she added. “I am fighting to get on the USA High Performance Team for my second year. I really want this and I will be working hard every day. My goal for now is to be on Team USA for the second time. I want to fight internationally and be Number 1 in the world.”
Brown-El has definitive long-range goals in boxing, starting with the Olympics and finishing as the face of women’s boxing.
“If I win a gold medal at the 2024 奥运会, maybe a second time in 2028, after that I think that will open up great opportunities for me,” the prodigy commented. “I think it’ll especially help me in the pro ranks. Winning a gold medal is my biggest goal right now.
“I want to be the greatest female boxer in the world. I want to be known and I want to make a statement for all females. I really want to shock the world. I eat, 睡觉, and breath boxing. This is not just a sport for me, this is a lifestyle.”
Sa’Rai Brown-El is on a golden path to stardom. She represents the future!
