Boxing Champ from Tel Aviv

This story was brought to me a long time ago by TGR reader and former Maryland great Howie Labow. Today's story is about Hagar Finer. Ever heard of her? Probably not, because her country barely has. Finer is an Israeli boxer. In fact she is a boxing champion. Unfortunately, for Finer boxing is not such a celebrated sport in Israel, especially for woman. 

Finer is an Orthodox woman from Tel Aviv. And we her at TGR want to acknowledge Finer and her accomplishments of becoming Flyweight Champion both for the WIBF andWIBA.

Below are links to a video featuring Finer's story and her website. I suggest looking at them so you can get to know her and her story. She is truly an inspiration and making a lot of noise in the boxing world. Not too mention she is solely responsible for bringing a sport to Israel.

And Let Us Say...Amen.
