IBA Strawweight World Champion Eva Guzman
CIUDAD DE VENTNOR, N.J. (Diciembre 5, 2018) – The relaunched International Boxing Association (IBA) is making a full commitment to women’s boxing, commencing with a new rule change to sanction 12-round world title fights.
The IBA is going back to the future having been an original pioneer in terms of giving much deserved recognition to women’s boxing, represented by former IBA world champions such as Laila Ali, Mia St. Juan y Acebo Holm.
En 1991, dos veces lanzador estelar de las Grandes Ligas de Béisbol y ganador del premio Cy Young oportunidad de decano fundó la IBA, guiando al organismo sancionador internacional hasta su muerte en 2015.
Under a new group headed by IBA president J.C. Courréges, the IBA relaunched during the summer of 2017. “This is the IBA’s first step towards establishing equality between men and women in professional boxing,” Courreges announced. “Our goal is to offer equality for women boxers in our organization. Women’s world title fights are 10, 2-rondas de minutos, no 12, like in the IBA. “
“There is a new wave of women’s boxing, led by Claressa Escudos, Katie Taylor, Amanda Serrano 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, peso paja Eva Guzman, of Venezuela. En 2019, we look forward to crowning many other women IBA world champions, in what the IBA is calling the Year of Women’s Boxing.”
