(August 15th) The International Women’s Boxing Hall of Fame’s two-day Hall of Fame event “Night of the Stars 2” will return to Vegas on April 4th and 5th, 2025 at the Orleans Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada. With our event now in its second year as a two-day affair, we have three (3) “firsts” happening with our event.

One of the “firsts” will be that we will honor boxing sisters Jennifer Han and Stephanie Han in the same year. Never before has the IWBHF honored sisters at the same event. Retired World Champion Jennifer Han will be inducted into the IWBHF’s Class of 2025; her sister Stephanie Han is one of our final 12 “Women Cops Who Box” to receive a special award for her dedication to law enforcement and as a rising star in women’s boxing.

Another “first” is that Kathy Williams, retired from the police force and one of our 2025 inductees, will receive not only an induction award but also a special “Women Cops Who Box” award. We have never given two awards to one recipient at our events before.

Finally, this is the first year that we will honor twelve (12) “Women Cops Who Box” on our pre-holiday, which will occur on the first day of our event, April 4, 2024. Our “Women Cops Who Box” are the following:
Ann Marie Carrizales; Melinda Cooper; Terri Moss;
Tracy Byrd; Alex Love; Stephanie Han;
Kyana Williams; Nisa Rodriguez; Nora DaigleAnd Irma Garcia Goal.

This special event will highlight the remarkable achievements of these women who have not only excelled in their respective fields, but have also made significant contributions to the sport of boxing. It is a testament to their dedication, resilience and strength. We are proud to honor them and celebrate their achievements at the IWBHF’s Night of the Stars 2 event.
