Women's Boxing: Road to London Goes Through Spokane - KHQ Right Now
SPOKANE, Wash. - For the first time ever, women's boxing will be a part of the Olympic Games. And the road to London goes through the Spokane area when the U.S. Olympic team trials take place at Northern Quest Resort & Casino on Monday.
Twenty-four boxers will compete for a chance to box for the gold later this summer. The competition begins with a draw on Sunday, with each of the four non-seeded boxers pulling a numbered ping pong ball to determine whom they will face in the opening round on Monday.
One of the favorites to bring home the gold is the queen herself, Queen Underwood. A graduate of Garfield High in Seattle, the 27-year-old boxer is the reigning World Championships bronze medalist.
Below is the transcript of a 6 Questions interview KHQ's Dan Kleckner conducted with Underwood:
Dan Kleckner: Queen, there's no question you're breaking down barriers - gender barriers
Queen: Yes.
Dan Kleckner: With that comes a sense of responsibility. Do you feel that you need to showcase your sport, Women's Boxing, in a positive light?
