I want to be the greatest of all time and change the game forever for all women in sports, and April 13 is an important step on that road to history.”



“I have waited a long time for this moment,” said Hammer. “I am bigger, stronger and more experienced than Claressa Shields. I am undefeated and have been a champion for over eight years. I can’t wait to show the world that I am the best and undisputed middleweight champion of the world.”



“SHOWTIME Sports has a long history of featuring the best in women’s combat sports, whether it was with Laila Ali and Christy Martin in boxing, or Gina Carano, Крис Сайборг и Ронда Раузи в ММА,- каза Гордън Хол, Изпълнителен продуцент на ПОКАЗВАНЕ НА БОКС: СПЕЦИАЛНО ИЗДАНИЕ. „От скоро, тъй като 2016 we have featured today’s elite with Claressa Shields, Кристина Хамър, Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano appearing in an industry-leading 10 presentations of women’s boxing. Male or female, SHOWTIME has delivered the best fighters in their toughest matchups, and April 13 няма да се различава. We have two of the best pound-for-pound female fighters in the world facing each other with all four middleweight titles at stake. It doesn’t get much better than that.”



“The biggest women’s fight of all time is set to take place on April 13 at Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City,” said promoter Dmitriy Salita. “Claressa Shields and Christina Hammer, двете шампиони, both in their prime, are not only taking on the biggest challenge in their respective careers by meeting each other in the ring, but are breaking barriers for boxing and for women in sports. Април 13 is destined to be an electric and historic night of boxing live on SHOWTIME.”



“Shields vs. Hammer is the biggest and most important fight in women’s boxing history – two undefeated unified champions in their prime battling for the undisputed middleweight championship of the world,” said Shields’ manager Mark Taffet. “Christina Hammer is indeed a very good fighter and champion, but Claressa Shields is once-in-a-lifetime. The same intense focus and determination that got Claressa through life, earned her two Olympic gold medals, and won her five world titles in eight pro fights will carry her to victory on April 13.”



“We are very excited to bring world-class championship boxing back to Atlantic City’s Jim Whelan Boardwalk Hall,” said Matt Doherty, Executive Director of the Casino Reinvestment Development Authority. “This reinforces the CRDA’s commitment to attract world-class sporting events and increase visitors to our destination.”



Shields was the first American boxer in history – male or female – to win consecutive Olympic gold medals. Кремъка, Mich., native turned professional following the 2016 Olympics and became unified women’s super middleweight world champion in just her fourth professional fight. Shields moved down to middleweight for her June 22 headliner on SHOWTIME, defeating Hanna Gabriels to win the IBF and WBA titles and become a two-division champion in just her sixth professional contest. After Hammer was named WBC Champion in Recess due to her medical issue, Shields picked up the vacant WBC title last November with a unanimous decision over Hannah Rankin. She most recently defended all three titles in December against Femke Hermans.



Чук, of Dortmund, Германия, has been the dominant force in the women’s middleweight division since winning the WBO title in 2010. Hammer became unified champion in 2016 with a unanimous decision over WBC titlist Kali Reis and made four defenses as unified champion. In her eight years as champion, Hammer has lost just a handful of rounds across 16 за световната титла на битки. Чук, who also models professionally and was recently featured at Fashion Week in New York City, made her U.S. debut on June 22 after campaigning mostly in Germany since turning professional in 2009. After being forced to withdraw from the November unification due to the health issue, Hammer won a non-title fight via second round knockout last Saturday, Февруари 9 в Германия.



The undercard for the SHOWTIME BOXING: SPECIAL EDITION telecast will be announced in the coming weeks.

2019 International Women’s Boxing Hall of Fame (IWBHF) Inductees Announced

/Bernie McCoy



Януари 27, 2019 PORTLAND, OR – (Януари 27, 2019) WBAN is proud to announce the International Women’s Boxing Hall of Fame (IWBHF), клас на 2019.

This sixth annual induction represents a record breaking number of honorees in the history of this signal institution which has recognized and honored those individuals who have, over the history of the sport of Women’s Boxing, contributed to, advocated for and brought esteem and distinction to the sport in and out of the ring.

Included in this year’s class are seven former boxers: Terri Cruz, Melissa Fiorentino, Lisa Holewyne, Carina Moreno, Bridgett Riley, Wendy Rodriquez и Martha Salazar. The Non-Boxer category includes David Avila, Stephen Blea и Blanca Gutierrez. Pat Emerick and Patricia [Пясъчен] Martinez-Pino are recipients in the Pioneer Female Boxer and the Posthumous categories, съответно.


FORMER BOXERS

Terri Cruz compiled a 17-7-2 рекорд, over a nine-year career (1999-2008), highlighted by winning the IFBA bantamweight crown over highly regarded Heather Percival in 2005. Cruz’s love of and dedication to the sport brought her out of retirement in 2009 to challenge top ranked Alesia Graf for WIBA Flyweight title, losing a close decision and again in 2011 for another bout with unbeaten Susie Ramadan.

Melissa Fiorentino, a 5’1dynamo, imbued with the appropriate sobriquet “Ярост”, put up a sterling 17-2 record over a seven-year (2001-08) career during which she stepped in with the top ranked fighters in the featherweight class, including wins over Belinda Laracuente, Esther Schouten, Jaime Clampitt and Cindy Serrano. She capped her career, през януари, 2008, winning the IWBF super featherweight title.

Lisa Holewyne fought to a 25-17-2 record over almost eight years (1998-2006) като професионален боксьор. A common boxing dictum states, “you are what your record isand Holewyne is exactly that. Coming to the ring after a four year stint as a pentathlete at the University of Texas, Holewyne quickly established herself as ananyone/anywherelightweight boxer, fighting Sumya Anani twice (when very few ranked fighters would come within a couple of time zones of that matchup), unbeaten Mary Jo Sanders twice, splitting two fights with the formidable Sunshine Fettkether to mention only some of the top opposition Holewyne sought out during a career that should serve as a signpost for any boxer seeking to do the sport the right way.

Carina Moreno was a standout in the flyweight ranks, борба, over her ten year career (2003-13), 203 rounds while compiling glittering 23-6 record against the best boxers in this competitive weight class. In addition to wins over Eileen Olszewski, Yessica Bopp and Holly Dunaway, she held the WBC and WIBA minimumweight titles for several years. She finished her career still competing against the best in her class, winning the WBA flyweight title against Susi Kentikian in Germany in December ’12, before losing a close decision to Kentikian seven months later in the same country.

Bridgett Riley fought in the ring, for nine years (1994-03), съставяне на 15-3 рекорд, exactly how she lived life, in perpetual motion. “Busy fightermight be an understatement, since from the opening bell, Riley had one gear, full speed ahead. She held the IFBA bantamweight title beating Yvonne Trevino over ten rounds in February ’98 and, in possibly her most remembered bout, Riley KO’d Englishwoman, Alicia Lahsen, in June ’98, after surviving an early knockdown. It was her first defense of the IFBA title. Among Riley’s other pursuits in her active life range from martial arts champion to movie stunt person.

Wendy Rodriguez is another of the West Coast fighters who brought the female bantamweight division to the attention of the boxing public. Along with her co-2019 IWBHF inductee, Carina Moreno, Rodriquez set a standard of competitive excellence in the ring that raised the public perception and appreciation of the division. Rodriquez, in her seven year (1999-08) career put up an exemplary 19-4-3. Early on, (Октомври. 2000) she fought an 8 round draw with Margaret Sidoroff and in her penultimate bout, she stepped in with Regina Halmich, (Regina was inducted into the Inaugural Class of the IWBHF in 2014) . Rodriquez finished her career on a high note, revenging an earlier loss to Holly Dunaway in the process of winning the vacant IBA minimum weight crown.

Martha Salazar competed as a professional boxer for 15 (2001-16) години, борба 18 times and winning 13 of those bouts. It is an unfortunate reflection of the dearth of competition at the female heavyweight level. But for those athletes who posses persistence, combined with a don’t quit attitude, заедно с, Най-важното, ring talent, the top rung of this division is attainable. Martha Salazar has those qualities in world class supply. Salazar won the WIBF heavyweight title via TKO over Pamela London in November ’04 and finished her career winning the WBC crown in a November ’14 by decision over Tanzee Daniel, before relinquishing the title via a close decision to Alejandra Jimenez in the final bout of her career in March of 2018.

NON-BOXERS

David Avila is a prominent and widely followed West Coast boxing writer. His linage to the sport comes from his father who fought a number of times at the Olympic Auditorium in the 1950s. Avila began his journalism career as a writer for the LA Times in the 1990s and is currently working for the Riverside (КАТО) Press Enterprise and La Prensa newspapers. Но, unquestionably, it is Avila’s longtime support for and advocacy of the sport of Women’s boxing and it’s athletes that has earned him this well deserved IWBHF honor.

Stephen Blea, Blea’s reputation as a boxing official has been well documented and has led him to be ranked among the finest in the sport. But it is his myriad additional contributions to the benefit to the sport and it’s athletes that makes Blea singular in the sport. He has been a coach at USA Boxing along with providing his referring and judging skill to that organization. He has coached boxing at the Denver Police department. He has managed WBC Cares for the state of Colorado and overlaid those efforts with a long time, full throated support of the sport of Women’s boxing whenever the opportunity arises.

Blanca Gutierrez is proof positive that the promotion of the sport of boxing begins with whole-hearted empathy, and few promoters in the sport of Women’s boxing can match the personal connection and caring that Gutierrez brings to the sport and it’s athletes. Her father, Javier, was a professional boxer in Mexico and and Gutierrez’s interest and love for the sport came early and fervent. She is the driving force behind Beautiful Brawlers, a West Coast promotional powerhouse, that continues as a prime force behind the recent resurgence in the sport of female boxing.

David Avila and Stephen Blea are the second and third males to be inducted into the IWBHF.


PIONEER FEMALE BOXER

Pat Emerick reduces her outlook on the sport of boxing to it’s most basic, “put one foot in front of the other and be prepared.If only getting a chance to climb through the ropes was that easy for a female in the middle of the previous century. It wasn’t. Emerick’s opportunities were essentially limited to her hometown, South Bend, IN, където, at 5’4″, 123паунда, after losing her first bout, she reeled off 18 поредни победи, highlighted by a TKO win over Jo Ann Hagan in November ’54 before 4,000 fans in Council Bluffs, IA., winning the Ladies World Boxing Association Championship. Emerick becomes the second oldest living IWBHF Pioneer Boxer inductee, born five months after Year 1 honoree Barbara Buttrick.


POSTHUMOUS 2019 INDUCTEE

Patricia “Пясъчен” Martinez-Pino, who passed away in September of last year, was a longtime leading advocate for the sport of Women’s boxing in this country. She worked tirelessly within the sport, with the AIBA to open up opportunities for females as referees and judges and served with U S Boxing as President (Hispanic), as well as terms as Vice President and Secretary. Her untiring efforts in support of and improving conditions and opportunities for women in the sport will be well remembered and sorely missed and are best described by her co-inductee, Stephen Blea, “Sandy broke down barriers and achieved accolades no woman had achieved in this sport.

As previously noted, на 2019 IWBHF Class of Inductees is the largest, and quite possibly, the most diverse, in the six year history of the Hall, conceived and formulated in 2014 by Sue Fox, founder and publisher of Women’s Boxing Archive Network (WBA). Fox envisioned the Hall as a needed addition to the boxing community, a way of honoring those, в и извън ринга, upon whose athleticism, support and advocacy for the sport of Women’s Boxing continues to stand on and progress.

An induction ceremony for the 2019 inductee class is being discussed and details will be announced forthcoming.

Women’s World Champion Hanna Gabriels Returns to Defend Against Sarah Dwyer on January 26

Having solidified herself as a legitimate women’s star in her own right with her gallant performance against Claressa Shields last June, world champion Hanna Gabriels (18-2-1, 11 Нокаута) will return to her homeland to face Australia’s Sarah Dwyer on Saturday, Януари 26, at the Avenida Escazu in San Jose, Коста Рика.

The 10-round battle will be in defense of Gabriels’ WBA Super Welterweight Championship.

Dwyer (3-4-2, 1 KO) is coming off a draw for the Australian Championship against undefeated Tayla Harris in November.

This will be Gabriels’ first fight since the impressive showing against Shields, where she had the women’s superstar down in the first round before losing an exciting and close decision. The fight is being called the Women’s Fight of the Year for 2018.

“I’m feeling amazing training with my husband and just ready to get back,” said Gabriels. “She’s (Dwyer) a warrior will try to come and chop my head off, but we will send her back to Australia quick enough.”

Gabriels’ manager, Hector Cordova, says Dwyer is the first stop of a comeback that includes a return go with Shields and some other big names in women’s boxing.

“I am really proud of Hanna and everything she does for the community in Costa Rica. She is a hero inside and outside the ring; a real-life world success story. Our goal is to unify the 154-lb. дивизия. We want to raise women’s boxing to new heights and eventually rematch Claressa and fight (women’s unified welterweight champion) Сесилия Braekhus. Hanna is the best 154-lb fighter in the world: a point we look forward to proving once again on January 26.”

Promoter Dmitriy Salita says that Gabriels’ name belongs among the best names in the sport. “Hanna is one of the best female fighters in the world. Her world-class skills make her one of the biggest names in all of women’s boxing. Януари 26 is going to be a great night and will open a door of exciting new opportunities for Hanna.”

“I want to thank all of my fans for supporting me always and showing me love even in defeat,” said the always gracious Gabriels. “That’s what makes me want it more and more. I want to fight Claressa and Cecilia and give my fans all I can before I leave the sport. I also want to thank my team because they’re amazing. Bryan Vasquez, Моят съпруг, Hector Fernandez de Cordova, моя мениджър, Pedro Gonzalez and Esteban Quesada, my co-trainers and Dmitriy Salita for lending a hand when needed. I won’t disappoint you.”

winner Claressa Shields continued to soar, as she successfully defended her two world middleweight titles, then added three super middleweight belts before the end of a campaign that earned her the 2018 Christy
Martin Award, which is given to the Boxing Writers Association of
America’s Female Fighter of the Year.


I am thrilled and honored to receive the Fighter of the Year award from the Boxing Writers Association of America. It is a dream come true, and it furthers my goal to lift women’s boxing to new levels,” Shields said.


“В 2019 my goals are to become undisputed champion, to be ranked in the top 10 pound-for-pound list regardless of gender, and to continue
the march of women’s boxing toward equality with men.


The 23-year-old from Flint, Michigan becomes the second winner of the award, which was established in 2017. She will be honored at the
BWAA’s annual award dinner, which will take place in 2019 at a site and date to be determined.


In such a big year for women’s boxing, it wasn’t a surprise that there
were so many worthy nominees for this award, but in 2018, Claressa
Shields took things to a new level by becoming a two-division world
champion and successfully defending her titles at both 168 и 160
pounds in Showtime and HBO-televised bouts,” said Thomas Gerbasi,
chairman of the BWAA’s women’s boxing committee. “That’s impressive in its own right, but the fact that she’s done this all before her tenth pro
fight and under the glare of the spotlight that comes with being the face of the sport in the United States made her a unanimous choice for this
year’s Christy Martin Award.


Joining Roy Jones Jr., Andre Ward and the late Emanuel Steward as
members of the USA Boxing Alumni Association Hall of Fame’s Class of 2018, Shields began the year on a collision course with middleweight
champion Christina Hammer, but first she finished up her business at
168 pounds by successfully defending her IBF and WBC titles with a
shutout victory over Tori Nelson in January.

Next was Shieldsmiddleweight debut against Hanna Gabriels in June,
and what followed was a Fight of the Year candidate that saw Shields
rebound from the first knockdown of her career to win a clear-cut
decision and the IBF and WBA belts. Soon after, the news came that
Hammer had to withdraw from her November clash with Shields due to
нараняване, но “T-Rex” didn’t slow down, as she defeated Hannah Rankin and Femke Hermans to successfully defend her middleweight titles while
adding the WBC crown to her trophy case.

I feel honored,” Shields spoke about being inducted into the USA Boxing Alumni Association Hall of Fame,” I am only 23 years old and to be inducted into the USA Boxing Hall of Fame is a great honor, but also a shock to me. I believe I am worthy of any honor, but I know things take time, and I always thought I would put in the Hall of Fame at the age 40 или 50. This is a big deal to me and I feel so honored. Just to have my name mentioned alongside names of greats like Andre Ward and Roy Jones just really motivates me. I feel privileged!”

 

 

 

The pride of Flint, Мичиган, Shields has already successfully parlayed her amateur success to the professional ranks, in which she is 7-0 (2), and the reigning unified (IBF, WBA & WBC) световен шампион в средна.

 

 

 

Shields finished her amateur career with an incredible 77-1 (18 Нокаута) рекорд, highlighted by her Olympic gold-medal-performances in 2012 и 2016. She hasn’t lost in the ring since 2012, когато Savannah Marshall (Англия) won on points, 14-8, at the World Championships in China.

 

 

 

USA Boxing came into my life as a two-time Junior Olympic champion,” Claressa explained her USA Boxing relationship. “The help from USA Boxing was so important: just noticing me as a young athlete and knowing I would be a strong young woman to represent the USA in the future; среща Julie Goldsticker, who was a blessing for me as she helped me with a lot as a teenager, and just having Coach Abdullah, треньор Al Mitchell, and coach Gloria Peek teach me different styles and how to use all my attributes. USA Boxing blessed me with a lot of knowledge and life-long friendships with all my Olympic teammates and Olympic coaches. My favorite coach, Koroma, literally was with me the whole way through 2015-2016, helping me outside the ring with advice and inside the ring.

 

 

 

Shields is one of the driving forces in women’s boxing today, carrying the torch handed off by American female boxing pioneers such as Кристи Мартин, Лайла Али and a few others.

 

 

 

There is great change going on right now — ми, Микаела Майер, Franchon Crews, Кейти Тейлър, Аманда Serrano and a few other women are carrying the torch for women’s boxing right now,” Shields explained. “Progress has been fast, every network has had a women’s fight on television this year, especially Showtime, on which I have boxed the main event four times. Women’s boxing can go far. I believe the day will come when we can be paid millions just like men.

 

 

 

By opening doors and breaking down obstacles, Claressa has become a true role model for youngsters all over, в и извън бокса.

 

 

 

It feels good to be a role model for them (females), and also for so many male boxers,” Shields noted. “Boxing is in a different era and I just want to make it easier for girls coming up, so when they turn pro, boxing will be closer to equality.

 

 

 

Claressa has one of the greatest stories in the history of amateur boxing,” каза Крис tofflemire, Изпълнителен директор на Асоциацията на възпитаниците на бокса в САЩ. “Her drive, commitment, талант, and character made her a USA Boxing and Olympic champion, leaving a legacy that will last for a very long time.

“Печално,” Shields concluded, “I can’t be there but, if I was there, I would say: Thank you to USA Boxing for believing in me at the age of 16. It was an honor to represent America, not only once but two times in the Olympics! I thank Coach Тояга (Walsh) for making me dig deep, by having to deal with his Irish ways and jokes, also for changing the culture of USA Boxing. A special thank you to coach Kay, also, I can’t count on my hands how many days we trained at 1 сутринта, how many times I knocked on his room door and ran, how many times he has had to take my phone from me because I was crying or having a family problem. He is the coach I could tell everything to, and he also blessed me with his boxing knowledge and made me always feel secure in myself when he was in the corner. USA Boxing isn’t just staffUSA Boxing is family! Even though I’ve had a few words with Matthew Johnson and other staff, I thank them for being hard on me and making sure I handled my responsibilities. Love to all USA Boxing staff, I’m truly thankful.

 

 

 

Claressa Shields is much more than world and Olympian champion, she’s a class act as well, exactly what’s so desperately needed today.

Тренировъчният лагер почти завършен; Уверена и натежала Клареса Щитове, готова за Хана Ранкин DAZN Showdown на ноември 17

Суперзвездата на жените и двудивизионната световна шампионка Клареса Шийлдс е във Флорида с треньора Джон Дейвид Джаксън, довършвайки подготовката за нейния разбор с Глазгоу, Шотландската Hannahh Rankin в събота, Ноември 17, в Kansas Star Arena и казино в Mulvane, Канзас.

 

 

 

Шийлдс (6-0, 2 Нокаута) ще защитава световното си първенство в средна категория на IBF и WBA, и търсете да добавите свободното заглавие на WBC, срещу Ранкин (5-2, 1 KO) в 10-рундния съвместен двубой за стабилния партньор на Salita Promotions Jarrell Miller в тежка категория срещу румънеца Богдан Дину.

 

 

 

И двете битки, заедно с бившия световен шампион Брандън Риос, който поема брат на Канело, Рамон Алварес, в супер полусредна категория на 10 кръга и бивш двукратен претендент за световната титла в средна категория Габриел Росадо срещу бития веднъж претендент Луис Ариас, ще се излъчва на живо по DAZN.

 

 

 

23-годишни щитове, бивш двукратен олимпийски златен медалист, възвърна интереса си към женския бокс и се превърна в любимец на рейтингите си за националните си телевизионни подвизи. Горд родом от Флинт, Мичиган, Shields смесва нейните нахални изявления за величие с истински и непрекъснати усилия да вдъхновява спортистките и да оказва помощ на членовете на домашната си общност.

 

 

 

Първоначално Shields трябваше да се изправи срещу WBC и WBO Световната шампионка в средна категория Кристина Хамър през ноември 17, но двубоят беше отложен, след като Хамър се оттегли поради медицински причини.

 

Промяната на противниците от Hammer на Rankin повлия ли на тренировката ви?

 

 

 

Не тренирам за опонентите си, Просто натискам, за да извлека най-доброто от мен, физически и психически. Ако съм най-добрият „аз“,’Не трябва да се притеснявам кой е съперникът. Смяната на противниците изобщо не ме притесни; най-лошото в този лагер за мен бяха просто всички промени в датите - непрекъснато трябваше да фокусирам ума си върху темпото и времето на тренировка в зависимост от датата на битката. Нямам търпение да вляза на ринга!

 

Били сте се в супер средна категория 168 и наскоро в средна категория 160 паунда. Как е вашето обучение, диета и всякакви други усилия, различни за полагане 160?

 

 

 

Обучението винаги е трудно и аз непрекъснато се уча. В този лагер имах напълно различна диета - истинска промяна и положителна за мен. Обединих се с Perfecting Athlete за ежедневното ми хранене, и се чувствам страхотно. Винаги съм се опитвал да се храня здравословно, но тези хора са професионалисти и са по-образовани в тази област от мен самия. Имам тази вълшебна напитка, която кара стомаха ми да се усмихва - обичам го! Това е диня, смесена със зелен зеленчук. Няма да ви казвам какъв е зеленчукът, но го пия всеки ден, и се чувствам СТРАХОТНО.

 

Вашите зрителски номера са много силни. Защо мислите, че хората са привлечени от вас?

 

 

 

Вярвам, че хората са привлечени от това колко съм истински и честен, в и извън ринга. Казвам това, което имам предвид и имам предвид това, което казвам. Твърд съм, но имам и мека страна. И мисля, че хората са привлечени от това как се бия — не само говоря добра игра, но и се боря с моите a– изключване също! аз давам 1000% всеки път - искам да променя играта и да въведа изцяло ново поколение фенове в женския бокс и бокса като цяло.

 

Какво знаете за опонента си Хана Ранкин?

 

 

 

Знам, че моят противник Ранкин е много корав и решен да бъде световен шампион. Харесвам нейното шофиране, Харесвам сърцето й. Знам, че тя е била на ринга като спаринг партньор за много шампиони, едната е Кристина Хамър. Така че Ранкин е видял някои добри бойци. Но едно е сигурно - тя никога не е виждала боец ​​като мен. И тъй като Хамър не можеше да се бие поради нейното медицинско състояние, в много отношения следващото най-добро нещо е да се биете и да биете спаринг партньора си и да оставите Ранкин да каже на Хамър за какво се занимава, когато се върне!

 

Какво трябва да се направи, за да се реши кризата с водата във Флинт?

 

 

За разрешаване на кремъчната криза с водата, Мисля, че хората трябва да продължат да дават вода и да я държат в новините, че има град в Америка, където, невероятно, Гражданите на САЩ нямат чиста вода. И дано президентът или нашият губернатор направят нещо, за да поправят всички тръби.

 

Каква е тайната да станеш най-добрият от най-добрите във всеки спорт?

 

 

 

Вярвам, че тайната започва с вярването в себе си, да бъдеш посветен, работим усилено и просто винаги се стремим да бъдем по-добри. Чувствам се най-големият ми критик, когато тренирам и боксирам. Трудно е да гледам филм за моите битки, защото въпреки че го правя 97 Нещата са правилни, просто не мога да понасям 3 неща, които правя погрешно. Аз съм човек, който се стреми да извлече пълния си потенциал. Необходими са смелости, за да бъдеш страхотен. Нищо няма да попречи на постигането на целите ми, което включва да бъдеш GWOAT и да създаваш равенство за всички жени бойци, що се отнася до парите, възможности и покритие, което мъжете получават.
