(AUG 18) Ava "The Lady of Boxing"
Knight 5-0-2 (2KO), of Chico, California, will be fighting for the
WBC Super Flyweight Championship of the World against Ana Maria
Torres, 18-3-2 (11 KO), of Mexico on August 29, 2009, in
Mexicali, Baja California, Mexico.
Team Knight told WBAN, "Contracts
have been signed and Ava is steadily training and is in
tremendous condition for this fight. Ava the WBC No.2
Bantamweight in the world will come down to Super Flyweight to
fight Champion Torres.
This is Knight's strongest bid at
usurping a title. She's already won the IFBA's North American
Bantamweight belt after she decision Kaliesha West last November
in Friant, Ca. Before that, in July of 2008, she KO'd Noriko
Kariya in the fifth round, in Bergen, New Jersey.
We feel
very confident that Ava will be successful in this venture and
maybe doors will start opening up for her."
