– NWA World Women’s Champion Kamille Confirms Role In Mildred Burke Biopic
Kamille revealed that she will be playing June Byers in the upcoming film that will focus on the legendary Burke. Byers was a rival of Burke in the 1940s and 50s and had a controversial, hard-hitting two-out-of-three falls match against Burke in Atlanta in August 1954. The bout would not go to the third fall, but the Atlanta Athletic Commission eventually awarded the match to Byers.
