Firstly, a happy new year to everyone and may 2018 bring you joy, happiness, health and success.

It's already a busy year for the World Boxing Federation with fights lined up in Zimbabwe, France, USA, Mexico, Japan, Germany, Korea, and others, in the next few months.

Our representatives have been busy at work discussing fights with various promoters and one can feel the energy and adrenaline as we move into the new year.

An interesting aspect of boxing at present is the growth and acceptance of women boxing and the fact that women’s boxing deserves as much attention as their male counterparts.

Claressa Shields, a former two-times gold medalist and already a multiple title holder as a professional, and affectionately described as a Mike Tyson-like fighter, is one who has got the press talking and writing - and deservedly so.

She is an all action, come forward, dynamic punching and hugely crowd entertaining fighter. Claressa deserves all the accolades that are being bestowed upon her.

The World Boxing Federation has always prided itself on the outstanding quality of our woman champions and we continue to do so.

Some of our previous and current champions include Holly Holm, Christina Hammer, Ann Sophie Mathis, Noni Tenge, Ramona Kuehne, Nicole Wesner, Hyun Mi Choi, Jessica Nery Plata, Unathi Myekeni, Bukiwe Nonina, Segolene Levebvre and many more.

2018 looks to be set for an exciting year for the WBF not only in the men's department, and as can be seen from the above, quite clearly also on the woman’s side.

Personally I look forward to heading out to Zimbabwe on Tuesday with Eddie Marshall and Darryl Ribbink for two WBF Africa title fights as well as to conduct a training clinic for the Zimbabwean officials.

Until next time, keep boxing.

Howard Goldberg

PRESIDENT: World Boxing Federation
