Big Dog Radio Welcomes Lady of the Ring, Amy Hayes

Tune in Tuesday at 2 PM CST as Big Dog Radio welcomes Lady of the Ring, Amy Hayes.

Born in Michigan, Amy’s father was a broadcaster for a local radio station, so her fondness for announcing started at an early age. As an all-star athlete tomboy, she always played hard. Tomboy or not, her appealing looks landed her, her first gig as a ring card girl, and from there, her love for the, “sweet science” blossomed. Amy was a radio disk jockey, in Detroit, and in 2001 she not only embarked on a career as a ring announcer for the late Dan Goosen, she started making history. Hayes started announcing for Fox Sports News, and thus far is believed to be the first lady to hold that title as ring announcer.

She has appeared on Fox Sports Net, ESPN 2’s Friday Night Fights, USA, and Showtime. She is credited as announcing the first episode of Showtime’s ShoBox: The New Generation. Her announcing has taken her around the world, and as any good ring announcer, she created her very own catch phrase, “It’s time to separate the men from the boys!”

Aside from broadcasting and announcing, Amy is a model, and has been featured in various publications such as Playboy and Maxim. She has also appeared in numerous ads.

Amy has proven that the fight world is just not for the boys, they must make room for the girls. Amy is the first, “Lady of the Ring.”

Tune in as the host, the Big Dog Benny Henderson Jr. gets the thoughts of Amy on her career and more.
