Harding Not Fighting, Still Appearing

(PRESS RELEASE) -- Commission Regulations KO Tonya Harding's Boxing Exhibition. Harding Still Appearing to Sign Autographs and Meet Fans as Celebrity Guest!

15 All-Action Cage Fights Still Scheduled
Figure-skating star turned professional boxer Tonya Harding has had her scheduled boxing exhibition at Donofrio Entertainment's "TURF WARS" cage fight event (on Saturday, January 24, 2009, at The Palace of Auburn Hills, Michigan) cancelled, due to Michigan Commission regulations concerning combining professional boxing and full-contact cage fighting.

Harding, who will still be appearing at the event to sign autographs and meet fans, says she is disappointed she won't be able to put her rapidly improving boxing skills on display, but is still looking forward to returning to Detroit.

"The Michigan Commission has a minimum number of rounds they require for any professional boxing show," explains promoter Joseph Donofrio. "And because this cage-fighting event is already packed with 15 scheduled bouts, there really is no feasible way to add in three or four professional boxing matches as well."
