U.S. women boxers vie to be among first to compete in Olympics
Female boxers have been toughing it out in the ring since the 1700s, but this year will mark the first time in history women will be allowed to fight at the Olympic level. This month, 24 women from across the country will vie for a slot in the first female US boxing team. Only three will advance to the 2012 Summer Olympics in London.
