(JULY 7) One of my biggest fans and supporters my Aunt Karen passed away June 10, 2010.. She was a young amazing woman, aunt, mother, grandmother, wife and all around person. She was too young to go and I will never understand why she had to go but I guess God has bigger and better plans for her in heaven.

She was a huge supporter of all that I have done in my life and even though she hated the thought of me fighting she still always supported me and came to some fights and always made sure to call me and wish me luck!

She has done so much for our family and so many others! She was the backbone to our family and she did so much for the community and for charities, etc.

My next fight is on  July 8, 2010, in Winnipeg, Canada, and I will be fighting Olivia Gerula for her WBC Super Featherweight World Title!  This fight is dedicated to and in memory of my Aunt Karen. I will win this belt for her---no one or nothing can stand in my way this one is for her!
