Hayes began her career as a Fashion Model . She continues doing modeling jobs and has worked for many prestigious companies, such as Saks Fifth Avenue (where she began modeling) and K-Mart . Hayes wanted to be a broadcaster. Thinking that a career as a ring announcer would lead her to become one, she left her job as a ring-card girl to start working as an announcer. She worked for the first time at an amateur card promoted by ''Fight Night'' promoter Bill Kozerski . Hayes was hired by the WCW to participate as a broadcaster in their ''Monday Night Nitro'' show, and she interviewed Hulk Hogan and Dennis Rodman . Hitz saw that show and he remembered her. Her friend, boxing referee Frank Garza recommended her to former Major League Baseball player Dean Chance , then president of the little recognized International Boxing Association. Chance gave Hayes her first real shot at being a ring announcer. Soon after, she flew to Chicago to work at a card at the Rosemont Horizon. Hayes graduated from the Specs Howard School Of Broadcast Arts and she went on to become a disc-jockey for a local station in Flint, Michigan . However, ring announcing was her calling, and after Garza connected her with Chance, she began receiving major national attention, being featured on Showtime and ESPN 2 cards. With ESPN 2, she had the experience of working at an undercard held at the Playboy Mansion in 2000 . Hayes considered retiring from ring announcing and moved to Kentucky . However, Dan Goossen , a well known promoter, offered a job on his Fox network's ''Sunday Night Fights'' show and she accepted. She then became the first female in history to be the official ring announcer of a televised boxing show. Hayes' future plans include releasing a book, which will be named ''Separating the Men From the Boys''. |
