The talk focused upon promoting boxing, equality, first fights, discrimination and challenges. Women’s Boxing isn’t what it used to be; however, we really need to keep fighting together, making combined efforts, and evolving our ethos in order to create a more just sport, in which everyone gets what they earn by the sweat of their brow, based on talent and not gender.

I remember seeing jelena mrdjenovich fight as an amateur almost 20 years ago. She absolutely destroyed a pretty good boxer from my boxing club with a single, devastating body punch. First time I ever saw a powerful female boxer up close and I’ve had a greater appreciation for female fighters ever since.
Jelena Mrdjenovich is one of the best p4p fighters ever would love to see the WBC put together a show with top promoters when boxing shows start back up from top to bottom with their champions Dezurn-Crews vs Jimenez rematch and main event Jelena Mrdjenovich vs Heather Hardy,Sarah Mahmoud,Amanda Serrano any of the three in a ppv card fans would get most entertainment for their money.
