Cathy Davis (born c. 1952 in Winnfield, Louisiana, United States) is an American, former female boxer, who caused sensation in the sport of boxing during the late 1970s. Her nickname was "Cat".Davis became a household name in the United States by fighting on television many times, in various areas of the country, including Nevada, California, and much of the Northwest. Her only bouts that would ultimately be officially recognized, however, would be five bouts which were held in the Northeast.Davis made history in August 1978, by becoming the first, and, until Ronda Rousey in January 2016, only woman to be on the cover of Ring Magazine. Some of her fights were televised by ABC or NBC, and she sort of became a symbol for those women who were involved in the feminist movement of the era. Wikipedia
