Free Punchers Staff & Organization Announcement
Jennifer Lopez: “Hello everyone, thank you for joining me this morning. When the Free Punchers announced their joining of the FCBA we wanted to let our fighters hold the spotlight on their own. After all this organization is all about them. As a former fighter in the FCBA myself, I understand the grueling nature of this league and the toll it can take not only on one’s body, but their mind as well. As such, the Free Punchers would like to announce the staff we have assembled to support our fighters and their quests to win plenty of championship belts! I personally will be doing my best as General Manager and President of Boxing Operations at Free Punchers to make sure that happens. Without further adieu, here is the staff of Free Punchers:”
Training Staff:
Claire Danes
Flyweight & Bantamweight Head Trainer
Former Unified Flyweight Title Holder, Unified Bantamweight Title Holder, and Tractorpull Magazine Hall of Fame member, Claire Danes joins Free Punchers with her legacy as a fighter already engraved to the annals of history. During her fighting career, Claire became synonymous with Hawkeye International Sports Consortium. Danes, along with stablemate Michelle Williams, dominated the Flyweight and Bantamweight weight classes for nearly two decades. When it came time for her to hang it up, she did so in courageous fashion while facing down then champion Nina Dobrev. While Claire is leaving Hawkeye for the first time in her career, we at Free Punchers would be foolish not to recognize that her name and accomplishments in the FCBA will always be linked to HISC.
Claire’s experience as a fighter is apparent to anyone who has watched the sport in the last 20 years, and through that experience she has accumulated a vast amount of knowledge that she now wishes to pass on to another generation. We here at Free Punchers are proud to announce or Flyweight & Bantamweight Head Trainer: the one and only Claire Danes!
Claire Danes: “Sometimes you need to move on in life. Hawkeye was, is, and always will be part of who I am. But this is a new chapter for me. A place where I can help build up another stable only this time outside of the ring. There are plenty of Hall of Famers, but I want to establish myself as not only a great fighter but a great trainer as well. And I believe that Free Punchers gives me the opportunity to do so. I look forward to working closely with Abigail and Elyse. Girls, we’ve got a Pay-per-view to win.”
Milena Govich
Lightweight & Welterweight Head Trainer
Former Welterweight Title Holder Milena Govich will be the Lightweight & Welterweight Head Trainer for Free Punchers. Milena’s magical 2012 will always be remembered for her thrilling one point victory over Tractorpull Hall of Famer and then Welterweight Champion Charlize Theron. While an obscure name at the time, Milena made the FCBA know who she was in emphatic fashion. A former member of Bonzo’s Gym, Milena looks forward to guiding Free Punchers fighters forward with one message: Anyone can win a belt.
Milena Govich: “My title was one of the most unexpected in FCBA history. I mean beating Charlize Theron… it was the toughest thing I’ve ever had to do in my life. And that’s what my fighters have to realize. Their path isn’t going to be easy. There will be losses. There will be times you want to just quit altogether. You can’t do that though. I’ve seen Laura and Iskra in the ring, these girls have talent. Tons of it. Each in their own unique ways too. It’s my job to find a way to maximize those talents. And that’s what we’re going to do.
