I AM A WOMAN


The Gender Controversy in Women’s Olympic Boxing

August 12, 2024

On this episode I interview Cary Williams, a Level IV Olympic Level Boxing Coach with USA Boxing.  Watch on Youtube Here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dInlaAio_W0


Over the past 27 years in the boxing and fitness industry, Cary has been featured on NBC, CBS, ABC and FOX as well as in national publications such as Shape, Energy, Fitness, Entrepreneur, Inc., SUCCESS, FHM, USA Today and The New York Times. Cary has even graced the cover of Muscle & Fitness HERS and appeared on the popular NBC show, Fear Factor. As well, on EXTRA and on Lifetime network as a trainer on the show Fit2Fat2Fit and on CNBC’s Billion Dollar Buyer.


Cary has contributed to numerous national publications, news shows on tov and radio. She is also a key note speaker giving motivational speeches at venues and schools on a regular basis.


In the boxing world, Cary boxed competitively in the amateurs and won the Pacific Northwest Women’s Tournament before hanging up her gloves. She is now a Level IV Olympic Level Boxing Coach with USA Boxing. Cary has trained many boxers, some of which have made it to Olympic Trial Qualifying Tournaments. Cary caught the attention of many when she trained and cornered a female boxer for 3 Olympic Qualifying tournaments. All done without the help of an assistant coach in the corner for each fight.


As a spokesperson for Everlast, Cary created a boxing class format for 24 Hour group fitness called Everlast ShadowBox and was a part of several print ad campaigns for Everlast.


Cary founded the “Knocking Out Obesity” tour which stopped at 10 of the “fattest” cities in the nation (according to Men’s Fitness). Cary conducted non-contact boxing workouts with students at 10 middle schools in the nation.


Cary has worked with thousands of young girls teaching them boxing, but the biggest lessons they have learned from Cary is that they can be strong, smart and successful without sacrificing their femininity. Her work with young women got her recognized by The California Legislature along with Brandi Chastain and several other women in sports, for her contribution and impact on girls’ sports.


Cary has taken those years of experience in the boxing, fitness and gym world to create something unique for women in combat sports….. Tussle!


Tussle not only designs and creates gear specifically for girls and women but also gloves that are the most versatile on the market! Before now, boxing gloves needed to be taken off to lift weights, get water, use a phone, etc. With an eye for innovation and a portfolio of Olympic level boxers and everyday gym warriors, Cary created a boxing glove that will never interrupt a workout. Convenient but with a beautiful, high-quality design.
