Dawn George (original) (raw)
Dawn Denise George (born April 30, 1959 in Gardner, Massachusetts), better known plainly as Dawn George, is a former female boxer who has competed against some of women's boxing top athletes. George moved to Lowell, where Micky Ward, another retired boxer, was born. George had a negative win-loss record; many facts can be attributed to this: for example, apart from fighting some tough women boxers and world champions, she was 39 when she debuted in professional boxing. Most boxers are considered "old", "over the hill" or "past their prime" by the age of 30.
