Boxing title for Olszewski
Eileen Miyoko Olszewski, a Kaimuki High graduate, won the IFBA flyweight title last weekend in Queens, N.Y., the third world title for the boxer known as the "Hawaiian Mongoose."
The former Palolo Valley resident, who now lives in New York, won by TKO over Patty Alcivar in the eighth round of a scheduled 10-round main event, the last of a 10-bout card and the only female fight of the night. It was a rematch between the 111-pound fighters, who met in March for the New York state female flyweight crown. Alcivar won that by unanimous decision in eight rounds.
