Together, the two will break down the latest fights, discuss breaking news and upcoming matchups, and welcome special guests for candid conversations and exclusive interviews.<\/p>\n<p>Most importantly, the show will provide a consistent home for women\u2019s boxing.<\/p>\n<p>From established world champions and top contenders to prospects just beginning to build their names, Women\u2019s Boxing Weekly will cover the sport from the ground up, giving fighters an opportunity to share not only what happens inside the ring, but the personalities, sacrifices and stories behind their careers.<\/p>\n<p>For Bernstein, who has witnessed the evolution of women\u2019s boxing firsthand, the launch of Women\u2019s Boxing Weekly feels like a natural next chapter.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have been announcing and covering women\u2019s boxing for decades, long before the \u2018golden era\u2019 the sport is experiencing today,\u201d said Bernstein. \u201cI\u2019ve had the privilege of calling fights involving legends like Laila Ali, Holly Holm and Mary Jo Sanders, as well as current stars like Claressa Shields and Amanda Serrano. This show is a logical extension of that journey and, more importantly, an idea whose time has come.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>On October 10, Bernstein will be inducted into the Women\u2019s Boxing Hall of Fame an honor that reflects decades of announcing, covering and supporting the sport.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWomen\u2019s boxing has reached a point where it deserves to be covered every week, not only when there is a major championship fight,\u201d said Bernstein. \u201cThere are talented contenders and young prospects developing all over the world, and their stories deserve to be told as well. Being inducted into the Women\u2019s Boxing Hall of Fame this October is a tremendous honor for me, and it makes me even more excited about what we can accomplish with Women\u2019s Boxing Weekly. We want to cover the entire sport, from the fighters people already know to the young women they\u2019ll be talking about in the future.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Bernstein is equally excited about sharing the desk with Conte and working alongside the Global Boxing Network team.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m delighted to have Cynthia as my co-host and to be working with the team at Global Boxing Network,\u201d Bernstein added. \u201cCynthia brings tremendous passion, knowledge and personality to boxing coverage. We are committed to covering women\u2019s boxing from the prospects all the way up to the champions and giving these athletes the attention their accomplishments deserve.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Conte has built a reputation in boxing for connecting with fighters in a way that often goes beyond the usual pre-fight questions and post-fight analysis. For her, Women\u2019s Boxing Weekly is an opportunity to bring that same approach to a show completely dedicated to the women competing in the sport.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m genuinely excited about what we can build with Women\u2019s Boxing Weekly,\u201d said Conte. \u201cThere are so many incredible women in boxing with stories that fans haven\u2019t had the chance to really hear. Yes, we\u2019re going to talk about the champions and the big fights because those moments deserve attention, but I also want fans to meet the young woman grinding in a gym somewhere who might be two or three fights away from everybody knowing her name.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Conte believes the timing of the show is especially important as women\u2019s boxing continues to attract larger audiences and produce significant fights around the world.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis sport has grown so much, but there is still another level it can reach,\u201d Conte continued. \u201cThe fighters deserve a place where the conversation doesn\u2019t end when fight night is over. We want to talk about what they\u2019re going through, what motivates them, the obstacles they\u2019ve had to overcome and, honestly, let people see who they are when the gloves come off. I\u2019m also thrilled to do this alongside Al. His knowledge of boxing history is incredible, and I think our different perspectives are going to make for some really fun and meaningful conversations.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Each episode of Women\u2019s Boxing Weekly will take viewers beyond results and rankings. Bernstein and Conte will examine the issues affecting the sport, look ahead to important matchups and provide analysis on the fights that could shape each division.<\/p>\n<p>The show will also make interviews a central part of its identity, welcoming champions, contenders, prospects, trainers, promoters and other influential figures from throughout women\u2019s boxing.<\/p>\n<p>The goal is simple\u2026if it matters in women\u2019s boxing, it belongs in the conversation.<\/p>\n<p>At a time when established stars are headlining major events and a new generation of fighters is emerging behind them, Women\u2019s Boxing Weekly aims to document the sport as it continues to evolve.<\/p>\n<p>Every fight creates another story.<\/p>\n<p>Every prospect has a journey.<\/p>\n<p>And every week, Women\u2019s Boxing Weekly intends to give those stories a place to be heard.<\/p>\n<p>\t\tPost navigation<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Women\u2019s boxing has never had more momentum, and a new weekly show is ready to give the sport&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":886001,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[571],"tags":[64,63,802,85],"class_list":["post-886000","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-boxing","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-boxing","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/886000","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=886000"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/886000\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/886001"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=886000"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=886000"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=886000"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
