An Interview with Female Ref Liza Zarate!
By Jill Diamond
WBC Female Championship Committee
Liza Zarate has a challenging vocation. She’s one of boxing’s few women referees. Right now, she works amateur fights, but her dream is to referee professional bouts. I met her in Cancun at the Celebration of Champions. I was taken with her determination and her love of the sport. In an effort to feature all of the women in the boxing community I thought you’d find Lisa’s journey interesting.
