StumbleHarding set for pro boxing debut
Tuesday, Feb. 11, 2003 | 9:12 a.m.
Former Olympic figure skater Tonya Harding will make her professional boxing debut Feb. 22 on a card featuring Mike Tyson in Memphis, Tenn.
Harding will face Samantha Browning of Mantachie, Miss.
"I've been in a lot of fights, they just haven't been in the ring," Browning said Monday.
Harding gave Paula Jones a pummeling on the Fox network show "Celebrity Boxing" last March.
"It is my goal to be a future, undisputed bantamweight champion. My proven athletic ability and competitive nature will help this dream become a reality," Harding said.
