Women in Boxing

Women in boxing are truly interested in becoming professional boxers with all that it entails; the road work, body building, the grueling workouts, the long, arduous road from preliminary four-rounders to the title matches. They are warm, feminine women with husbands, sweethearts & children in their lives who have become so taken with a sport that they are willing to train like champions, to regiment themselves, to sacrifice. PRINCESS RED STAR, LADY TYGER, & ZEBRA GIRL, who are these women? What do they want? Who's stopping them from getting it? "Olympic boxing auditorium attendance has roughly doubled the last two times women were on the card." Sexism in boxing is the real championship bout for women. 0-86626-012-9, $16.95; Order from McKinzie Pubng., P.O.
