Because of visa troubles and changed team travel plans, the schedule of events planned for an international women’s boxing tournament set for April 20 through April 25 at the Buckhead Fight Club has changed, promoter Terri Moss says.

The new schedule features teams of women boxers from China and the U.S. meeting head-to-head, she said. Other international boxers had been expected to take part, producing a round-robin tournament, she said, but those teams now are no longer scheduled to appear.

The new schedule calls for exhibitions on April 21 and 23 and a series of matches on April 25.

“It definitely was a disappointment in the beginning, but I’ve taken the best attitude possible,” Moss said.
