Upcoming Women’s boxing in South Korea!

>>>>UPDATE!!!>>>>

South Korean boxing champion Ju Hee Kim (15-1-1, 6,KO’s) dominated Fahpratan Looksaikongdon (7-3, 0-KO’s) in their WIBC Light Flyweight title fight.  This gives Kim her fifth title!  As noted, in an article in the Korea Herald, Kim said “I am so happy to have achieved my goal of becoming champion of the five world organizations.”  Click here for link.

->>>Tonight (July 9th) in Ansung, South Korea the IFBA Mini Flyweight championship bout will pit title holder Dan-Bi Kim (7-2, 0-KO’s) of South Korea against Liu Jian (5-0, 0-KO’s) of China for ten rounds of exciting boxing.

->>>There is also a full card of women’s boxing in Jeollanam-do, South Korea at the Wando Farmers and Fisherman Sports and Culture Center.  These bouts will be televised on KBS-N Sports in South Korea.  (And from Girlboxing’s perspective, giant “ups” to South Korean television for recognizing the value of the sport!)

America’s own “boss” Terri Moss is covering the bouts that will include a ten-rounder pitting WIBA, WIBF, GBU & WBF light flyweight title holder Ju Hee Kim (14-1-1, 6-KO’s) against Thailand’s own Fahpratan Looksaikongdon (7-2, 0-KO’s) (See below for video of Ju Hee Kim).

->>>A second IFBA championship bout will be held on July 16th in Jaechum, South Korea.  In this bout the IFBA Strawweight championship will pit title holder and South Korea’s own Ji-Hyun Park (13-5, 0-KO’s) seeking her seventh straight win against another Chinese contender, Sun Qun Yan (5-2, 0-KO’s).

On a side note, former IFBA title holder Kim Messer will be serving as a fight supervisor for the IFBA organization — a home-coming of sorts as Messer was born in Jaechun, residing in an orphanage there until being adopted by an American family and coming to the United States.

For a preview of Ju Hee Kim, here is video of last year’s ten-round slug fest against Jujeath Nagawa (9-10-1, 5-KO’s) of the Philippines.

Women’s boxing: a couple of stories from around the web!

Head on over to the New York Daily News for a great piece about Sparkle Lee, a renowned boxing referee in New York and New Jersey.  A lover of the sport who took up training in the 1980’s at Gleason’s Gym, Sparkle never took up the gloves in her own right, but the pro’s loss has been the ring’s gain as she has plied her trade as a the “third (wo)man” for nearly twenty years.  Kudo’s to Christopher O’Brien for his inspiring article! The must read link is here.

Over at WBAN, Bernie McCoy has a terrific piece up on Terri Moss.  Known as “The Boss,” Terri Moss boxed professionally before going over to the other side to run the Decatur Boxing Club in Atlanta.  She also recently been named Women’s Boxing Chairman for the Champions of Dignity Association (CODA).  CODA is a new sanctioning organization whose proceeds will be used to support the Retired Boxers Foundation.  Otherwise, Terri Moss pulls off two corporate charity events a year to benefit Atlanta’s many charities.  The link to the article is here.
