(JUNE 22) COLUMBIA, SC--We
are proud to announce that we will be honoring Dr. Anne Edwards, MD, as our 2022
Boxing Contributor of the year in the Carolinas Boxing Hall of Fame at our
upcoming Induction Ceremony. She is a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon,
that specializes in cosmetic, plastic & reconstructive surgery
in Charleston, South Carolina, and has been in practice over 30 years.
Dr. Edwards is a graduated from South
Carolina U, College of Medicine in 1986.
In 2015, when
Dr. Edwards was in attendance at the Hurricane Boxing Show promoted by Mike
Golemis, he had a "no show" on the doctor that was to be the attending Ringside
physician. Mike went up to Dr. Edwards saying to her, "You are a
doctor, can you help me?" She did not hesitate, and volunteered to fill in
that night and did a great job.
That show was the beginning for Dr. Edwards who began working many of the boxing
events throughout the years as the attending Ringside Physician.
Dr. Anne
Edwards, James Gantt and his wife
Don Steele said
of Dr. Edwards, "I love to work with Dr. Edwards. She always trust my
judgment and always followed my lead showing a lot of respect for my little
knowledge of fighters and boxing punishment."
Billy Stanick said, "The first time I met Dr. Anne Edwards was at the 2015
Charleston event at the Hurricane Boxing Show. After seeing what a
wonderful job she did that night I asked her if she would mind helping me with
my shows. She did not hesitate, and said that she would be glad to do that."
Since that time, Dr. Edwards has covered a number of Stanick's Golden Glove Shows, and other Amateur shows. She has worked boxing events for Larry Frazier, Alonzo Butler and Andrew Stokes.
