This fight was declared "Internationally"  and from the "state of Washington" as the  "first-ever sanctioned" bout between a male and a female, Margaret MacGregor  vs. Loi Chow.  But, few knew that the Association of Boxing Commissions (ABC) instructed Fight Fax, the official boxing record-keeper designated by the ABC under federal law, to list this event as an "exhibition"  for both boxers.   They were quoted as saying in a press release, "It is the position of the ABC not to recognize the results from the proposed male vs. female match-up scheduled for this weekend in Seattle, Washington.  The ABC has informed Fight Fax, the official boxing record-keeper designated by the ABC under federal law, to list this event as an exhibition for both boxers.    This action is being taken to express the ABC's strong opposition to any type of male vs. female boxing event that will be recognized by the standard set by this Association."

ON THE DAY ANOTHER MAN DIES OF INJURIES SUFFERED IN A FIGHT, FEMALE AMATEURS WIN THE RIGHT TO TAKE PART IN THE SPORT -  NOVEMBER 1996

Boxing faced renewed criticism  when on the day another male fighter died after fighting,  women and girls aged 10 and over would be allowed to fight as amateurs for the first time in Britain.   The coincidence of the announcement from the Amateur Boxing Association of England and the death of the Italian Fabrizio De Chiara, a 25 year-old middleweight, after collapsing at the end of a title fight,  sparked an angry reaction from campaigners against the sport. But among the voices raised in concern about women’s new rights to fight was a medical expert who has been one of boxing’s highest-profile defenders. Dr. Adrian Whiteson, chief medical adviser to the British Boxing Board of Control, said: "I’m terribly concerned about this. I don’t think enough is known about the potential risks to women for such a decision to be made.  Blows around the breast or chest can induce bruising, and the nodule which is created is difficult to distinguish from cancer. 

Pacific Blue featured Mia St. John as herself....   It's was an episode about Mia St. John and all the criticism she was getting as a fighter, and it turns out that another female fighter is so jealous of her that she tried to kill her.   

YOU HAVE SEEN THE MIXED MATCH FIGHT, THE 0-3 FIGHTERS ON MAJOR BOXING CARDS WITH OSCAR DE LA HOYA, BUT HAVE YOU SEEN  "FOXY BOXING?" IT'S BEEN TRIED TOO.......1979

"Foxy Boxing Era"    In 1989, These women would set the trend in boxing in skimpy bikinis. Bikini-clad female boxers punched and pounded their way in clubs like the Coconut Club in Southampton. They call themselves the "Foxy Fighting Knockouts." The weekly two-hours shows had created a not to favorable response with the community. Apparently before foxy boxing took hold in Hampton, it had been a rage for a long time in other Long Island and New York area nightspots.`
