Boxer Mona Ward is preparing for a new season of Team Combat League (TCL) action. The bantamweight is part of the Atlanta Attack.
TCL teams are a unique combination of male and female boxers. Each match contains 18 three-minute rounds and teams compete across six weight categories. Each round is scored individually with additional points added for knockouts and knockdowns.
“It actually fits me and my personality,” Ward said. “I believe boxing was a gift that was given to me. Once I started getting involved more and more, I started to learn.” Even losses have provided her insight into the sport. The next TCL season starts in the spring and will last for four months. When that gets going, Ward, who had considerable success as an amateur boxer, will have weekly fights. “Once I started with TCL, I loved it,” said Ward. “We’re working side by side with each other, going hard. If anyone is slacking, we push each other.”
