By James Blears

Pioneering Christy "Coal Miner's Daughter" Salters (Martin) who spectacularly put Women's Boxing firmly on the map, is poised to present her first Promotion on October 19th, with a cracking contest for the vacant NABF Female bantamweight Championship crown between Rosalinda Rodriquez Vs Noemi Bosques, at the Grady Cole Center in Charlotte, North Carolina.

Christy who justified her nickname by always digging deep during her fabulous career, in which she won the WBC super lightweight title, fought 59 times, with 49 wins, 31 KO's, seven defeats and three draws. Legendary Promoter Don King was so impressed by Christy's dedication, sheer grit,

spectacular fighting style and audacity, that he put her on the undercards of several Mike Tyson fights! She also fought on the undercards of Evander Holyfield, Felix Trinidad and Julio Cesar Chavez. Christy was the first female boxer to be inducted into the Nevada Boxing Hall of Fame.

Now Christy is determined to channel her inspiration, ability, acumen, energy and foresight into boxing promotion. Her company Pink Promotions combines and coordinates with Mercedes Vasquez of Pretty Girl Promotions for this spectacular show. It's Christy's promotional debut and she's determined to give fight fans and the general public a wonderful plus exciting show to remember! Christy stresses this Championship fight between Rosalinda and Noemi is going to be a show stealer and will give the crowd its money worth. Neither is a classic boxer. They're brawlers who are tough, durable, hard hitting and strong.
