On August 24, the Whitehall Athletic Club proudly presents “The Battle of Whitehall”, professional boxing at its finest!
The main event will feature a Female World Title match-up between pound-for-pound female Champion, Chevelle “Fists of Steel” Hallback against one of the toughest female fighters on the planet, Victoria Cisneros. These two warriors of the ring will fight it out for the WIBA Interim World Jr. Welterweight Title.
Hallback is a former World Champion who has fought the best competition the sport has to offer and is regarded as a top pound for pound female fighter. Victoria Cisneros has fought all the top World Champions, former World Champions and the number one ranked female fighters available and she fought most of them TWICE!
These two premier female fighters will headline the first of many cards that will come to both local fight fans in the Lake George Region of Upstate New York at the Whitehall Athletic Club facility and the countless others throughout the World via TV and Webcast broadcasts.
The August 24th card will be available on www.WhiteHallAthleticClub.com, LDLTV and UStream.tv for FREE. Calling the action live from ringside will be the host of the Talkin Boxing With Billy C TV & Radio Program, Bill Calogero.
The promoter and president of the Whitehall Athletic Club, Greg Gross said, “We wanted to give the members of our club top entertainment as part of their membership and pro boxing was one of my priorities. We decided to put on a World Title fight as part of the first boxing card to show all potential Whitehall Athletic Club members and boxing fans, both locally and around the world, that we are serious about the club and the quality of all our events. I think the Hallback-Cisneros match-up is proof of that.”
