After parting ways with the Queen Team, based out of Cappy’s Boxing Gym, the Queen of the Ring is getting settled into her new training headquarters at Tacoma Boxing Club. Queen Underwood, on a mission to win women’s boxing gold at the 2012 Olympics, has launched a new website and started her own Twitter account.
Though she is spending more time training in Tacoma and around the country, you can meet Underwood at the Last Supper Club down in Pioneer Square August 5. The Garfield alumna will be raising money for the new Queen Underwood Foundation.
