History in the making on August 21st at the Tachi Palace Casino and Hotel in Lemoore, California. Freddie Roach's Filipina fighting phenom in only her sixth fight, Bay Area's own Ana "The Hurricane" Julaton (4 wins 1KO-0 lost-1 draw) will be fighting knockout specialist Donna "The Nature Girl" Biggers (19 wins 16 KO's-8 lost-1draw) in an 8 round battle for the W.B.C. International SuperBantamweight Title Belt.

In her last fight at the Tachi Palace Casino (fight video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zrm2FWS3Rb4 ) Julaton gave all her fans a treat by putting on a "Tyson-esque" performance knocking out the opponent Mexican-American Salina Jordan in :37 seconds. Ana is having a "Danica Patrick" like rookie season, currently undefeated she began her Pro career 8 months ago and is alread y Ranked #12 in the World by the W.B.C. (World Boxing Council) at SuperBantamweight/Jr. Featherweight division, arguably Female boxing's most competitive division. If she can be successful August 21st Ana Julaton will become the 1st Filipino-American ever to win this belt and be the 1st Female American to become the WBC International Champion. Despite her lack of experience in the pro ranks one reason why Ana is willing to take these risks so early in her career is to help promote Women's boxing to have a slot in the 2012 Olympics. Currently it is the only Olympic sport to not have a female division. Ana's original goal was to be a part of the 2008 Olympic team, but the Olympic committee denied inclusion of the sport, now she is making a difference in the professional ranks by trying to become the 1st Female to win the World Championship in her rooki e year. Julaton feels that by going through the ranks quickly, her actions will help prove the quality of women's boxing and be an example why women's boxing should have been included in the 2008 Beijing Olympics. Being that she is Freddie Roach's only female fighter everyone believes Ana will win the World title this year. Help support the "Hurricane" in her quest to become a part of history August 21st at the Tachi Palace Casino and Hotel www.thepalace.net For more details on the Ana Julaton log on to www.myspace.com/ajthehurricane
