ALBUQUERQUE
(March 27, 2008) – The two best female boxers in the world,
Holly “The Preacher’s Daughter” Holm
and Mary Jo Sanders, headline the
June 13th “Finally” pay-per-view event (10 PM/ET-8 PM/MT) – the greatest
collection of women fighters on one show in history – live from Isleta
Casino & Resort in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
The Fresquez Productions,
Inc.-promoted “Finally,” produced and distributed by Integrated
Sports, will be available for live viewing on cable and satellite
pay-per-view via iN Demand, TVN and DirecTV for a suggested retail price
of only $24.95.
Albuquerque favorite Holm (21-1-2, 6 KOs), recognized as the No. 1
welterweight in the world, takes on the world’s No. 1 middleweight,
Detroit icon Sanders (25-0, 8 KOs), in the 10 round main event for the
vacant International Female Boxers Association (IFBA) junior
middleweight title.
“Holly and Mary Jo are fighting for the right to be called the top
pound-for-pound female fighter in the world today,” promoter Lenny
Fresquez said. “This show is the all-time best ever for female boxing
with five No. 1 fighters, based on independent rating groups, starting
with Holly and Mary Jo, along with the No. 1 featherweight (Jeannine
Garside), junior lightweight (Chevelle
Hallback, and strawweight (Careno
Moreno). Add a pair of No. 2 rated fighters (flyweight
Eileen Olszewski) and (junior
flyweight Hollie Dunaway), plus a
No. 3 (junior flyweight Wendy
Rodriguez); ‘Finally’ is featuring eight fighters - all rated among
the world’s top 3 - in four world title fights shown worldwide on
pay-per-view.”
The most punishing, action-packed fight could turn out to be the
10-round co-feature for the IFBA lightweight title between WIBA & IBA
junior lightweight title-holder
Chevelle “Fists of Steel” Hallback (26-5-2, 11 KOs), fighting out of
Tampa (FL), and WIBA featherweight champion
Jeannine “G9” Garside (7-0-1, 3
