On this edition of No Holds Barred, host Eddie Goldman once again spoke with our colleagues Chris Baldwin of the <b><a href="https://waarsports.com" target="_blank">WAAR Room</a></b> and Malissa Smith of <b><a href="https://girlboxing.org" target="_blank">Girlboxing</a></b> on the WAAR Room. A video of this discussion has also been posted on the <b><a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCMW16qQlnyWR-xyd2jZF1IA" target="_blank">WAAR Sports YouTube page</a></b>.
We spoke with them by Zoom Monday, June 13.
Between this weekend's wild Daniel Dubois versus Trevor Bryan fight, with a 90-year-old Don King reminding us he's still in the game, to Anthony Joshua's landmark deal with DAZN, there's a lot of action in the heavyweight division. We talked about it all, plus the possibility of an announcement coming real soon for UsykJoshua2. And yes, everything is very, very fluid.
We also talked about the once-in-a-lifetime "Trilogy" at the International Boxing Hall of Fame this past weekend combining a celebration of the 2020, 2021, and 2022 inductions due to the COVID pandemic. Most notable, however, was the first ever inclusion of women boxers in the Modern and Trailblazer groupings to include:
Women Modern Boxers: Christy Martin (2020), Lucia Rijker (2020), Laila Ali (2021), Ann Wolfe (2021), Holly Holm (2022), and Regina Halmich (2022).
Women Trailblazer Boxers: Barbara Buttrick (2020) and Marian "Lady Tyger" Trimiar (2021).
