Virginia Trice vs Lisa Smythe – Ultimate Promotions | December 1995

Virginia Trice vs Lisa Smythe – Ultimate Promotions | December 1995 30 years ago. This bout takes us back to December 1995, when Virginia Trice and Lisa Smythe stepped into the ring under Ultimate Promotions at a time when women’s kickboxing was still in its infancy. Long before female combat sports became mainstream, gyms and fight cards were overwhelmingly male-dominated, with limited training opportunities and technical development available to women. Despite those challenges, both fighters showed the courage and determination it took to compete in an era that offered little support for female athletes in combat sports. Performances like this helped lay the foundation for the growth of women’s kickboxing that we see today. Respect to both ladies for having the courage to compete when few others did.
