Elena “Baby Doll” Reid and Kaliesha “Wild Wild” West will tangle on Friday Dec. 8, at the Florentine Gardens club in El Monte, California.

Though it’s merely an exhibition match because of the disparity in weight, expect extreme fireworks between the two female pugilists.

“I can’t wait to fight her. She’s a world champion. I want to see how far I have to go to be a world champion myself,” said West (5-0), a bantamweight contender who lives in Moreno Valley. “I’m bigger but she’s a world champion.”

Reid said the crowd will not get a pitty-pat affair.

“Women don’t pitty-pat,” said Reid (18-3-5), the current WIBA flyweight world champion. “We take even the exhibitions seriously because of the fans. We want everyone to take women boxing seriously.”

Though Reid is a flyweight with six years of pro experience, she expects an even fight with West who is ranked number seven in the world as a bantamweight.

“She has a lot of amateur boxing experience so that makes us even,” said Reid. “I know she hits hard so it’s going to be a lot of fun.”

West recently beat five-time National Amateur champion Stella Nijof in Monterey last month. Reid captured the flyweight world title last August against Mary Ortega.

“People are going to get their money’s worth,” said Reid, who is now promoted by a California-based group that also promotes the Long Beach Ice Dogs. “This is my first fight in California.”

West said she expects a war despite it being an exhibition.

“I’m not going in there to dance around,” said West who has been compared by many to a younger Melinda Cooper. “We’re going to be doing some serious exchanges.”
