Inaugural Shelito’s Way All-Female Championship & Invitational Date Change Announcement

Amateur boxing tournament now July 15 & 16 at

Whaling City A.C. in New London, CT

PROVIDENCE, RI (May 30, 2023) – The inaugural Shelito’s Way All-Female Tournament, presented by retired professional boxer Shelly “Shelito’s Way” Vincent (27-2, 1 KOs), has announced a change of dates for its amateur boxing tournament for females only. It has been pushed back from July 1 and 2 to July 15 and 16, still at Whaling City Athletic Club in New London, Connecticut.

The tournament, sanctioned by USA Boxing, is open to female boxers, 8 years and older, who are currently registered with USA Boxing. All entries must be submitted via the online form (https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdHLj65HRBS2g98lFjlvVzI6lkJRYwHffVhy4UvFWyaVj6EJQ/viewform ) by 3 p.m. ET on Friday, July 7.

“This is the weekend we originally wanted,” Vincent explained, “but those dates were blocked,” “When July 15 and 16 opened up because of a canceled tournament, we jumped on it because it’s much better than doing it on a holiday (July 4th) weekend.”

The World Boxing Council and IBF (International Boxing Federation) World champion Ebanie Bridges are event sponsors. Boxers will compete for WBC medals and belts.

Call (1-617-372-2334) or email Melissa Kelly (mae@bu.edu) for information about competition, bouts, and brackets.

Tickets are priced at $30.00 for a day pass, $50.00 for both days (call 1-860-574-5227 for tickets).

Doors open at 6:15 p.m. ET, first bout at 7 p.m. ET.
