MORE...This latest news comes hot on the heels of the recent
announcement from Cooper's management group, the Underground Boxing
Company, that the undefeated World Flyweight Champion recently signed a
substantial two- fight sponsorship agreement with urban apparel
powerhouse, MeccaUsa, where she will represent their Mecca Femme
clothing line.
This comes just a week before her next scheduled bout, on May 13th it
the Plaza Hotel and Casino in the historic downtown Las Vegas district.
Melinda's opponent has yet to be announced for that bout, but Melinda
and her team guarantee another outstanding showing. "I want to come on
strong and show everyone how good women's boxing is. There's a place for
women in this business and we are making some progress. This deal with
Mecca USA is not just good for me, it will help the public see female
boxers in a different light and hopefully make other businesses aware
that there is a growing interest in this sport...especially right now."
Mecca Wear was established in 1994 and has quickly redefined streetwear
fashions and has become an industry leader. Mecca Wear is currently one
of the hottest, most well-respected clothing manufacturers among R&B,
rap artists and professional skateboarders. Melinda will be the first
female boxer to represent their line, but is a welcome change to their
popular lineup of professional athletes and familiar faces.
