(JULY 5) On Saturday, July 30, at Cobo Hall in Detroit, Michigan, Mary Jo
Sanders (16-0, 5 KOs) will meet Eliza Olson (8-4-3, 2 KOs) of
Fresno, California for the WBC Junior Welterweight World Title over 10
rounds.
Sanders, who currently holds the IBA Continental Welterweight and IBA
Continental Junior Welterweight titles, is looking forward to fighting her
first world title bout.

Olson, four-time junior welterweight world title challenger, is
looking for this fifth challenge to be a charm and take home a world
title as well. Both fighters come from championship bloodlines.

Mary Jo Sanders is the daughter of the Detroit Lion's seven-time pro
bowl champion, Charlie Sanders. Eliza Olson is the granddaughter of former
middleweight world champion, Carl "Bobo" Olson. With that in mind, coupled
with this being the first WBC Junior Welterweight World title fight for
women, July 30th should prove to be historical. |
