Come out and meet Ireland & Louisiana's First Female World Boxing Champion Deirdre Gogarty!
Meet Deirdre, and hear in her own words, how it was illegal for her to box in her home country of Ireland. How she overcame the odds to pursue her dream, and moved to Louisiana where she based her professional career. In 1996, she battled an historic match with Christy Martin, which is credited for putting women's boxing on the map, and helped make it legal for females to box all over the world.
Deirdre's book "My Call to the Ring" - A Memoir of a Girl Who Yearned to Box. Comes soon as a Motion Picture.
1pm - 3pm at the Many Train Depot
