Two female Beltway amateurs will be participating in the Pan American Female Boxing Championships in Guayaquil, Ecuador. The competition begins today and runs through October 9.
Two-time national middleweight champion Franchon Crews of Baltimore (top picture) will be trying to capture her second straight Pan American championship. Odenton, MD heavyweight Anne Gibbon will be participating in her first major international event. Originally from Tacoma, WA, Gibbon is a military officer who got involved in boxing through classes at the Naval Academy.
The two ladies are part of the 12-member US Pan American team that went through a two-week training period before leaving for Ecuador on October 2.
