  Exclusive One on One Interview with Kathy Rivers
Conducted by Sue TL Fox
October 17, 2000
     
   
   

TL Fox:  How long have you been in boxing?

Kathy:  My first boxing bout was in March of 98. I have no amateur experience, but I was training for about a year before my first fight. 

TL Fox:  What made you decide to box?

Kathy:  I started working out with Bonnie Canino and was very impressed with her and she motivated me to fight.

TL Fox:  What do you want to achieve in women's boxing?

Kathy:  TO BE WORLD CHAMPION (Light heavy/super middle/middleweight)

TL Fox:  If you had any advise to tell new fighters, what would you say to them?

Kathy:  Do it for yourself and believe in yourself. You are alone in that ring, so make sure you are doing it for you and BELIEVE IN YOURSELF!!! 

TL Fox:  Since you have been in the sport so many years, what would you have done differently?

Kathy:  I would have been more serious in the beginning of my career. I really have not gotten in top shape for any of my fights, I took my "natural" ability to fight as being enough, I never attempted to really reach my athletic potential. (until now!!!) 

TL Fox:  Who is on your agenda for watching to step in the ring with? 

Kathy:  I really don't have an agenda. 

TL Fox:  Would you like to avenge your loss with Valerie Mahfood?

Kathy:  Absolutely. I was no where near 100% in that fight. I had a shoulder injury which hurt my training, and like I said before, I never have gotten "in shape" for my fights.  Val knows I wasn't ready and I really doubt she will fight me again. 

TL Fox:  How long do you think you will stay in boxing?

Kathy:  Until I don't feel like boxing anymore. I don't put all my eggs in one basket, so when my career is over, I will already be into something else.

TL Fox:  Of all of the women boxers you have stepped in the ring with, who was your toughest opponent?

Kathy:  My toughest opponent is always myself. (I think all the boxers understand that) 

TL Fox:  Are you boxing full time or do you work a regular job and box?

Kathy:   I work and box.

TL Fox:  What changes have taken place for you in the last few months. I know you were training out of Florida and you have now relocated, what happened?

Kathy:  I was fortunate enough to sign a contract with Jimmy Burchfield & CES Entertainment which has about 10 fights a year, and the most important thing for a boxer is to stay busy, so, I felt it would be better for me to train in the same state, instead of flying out every 7 weeks. 

TL Fox:  You have a fight coming up, can you tell me about it?

Kathy:  I will be fighting on November 17th at the Rhodes on the Pawtucket. Don't have an opponent yet. I'll let you know. 

TL Fox:  Is there anything you would like to say to boxing fans that follow your career?

Kathy:  Thank you for supporting & believing in me. I know I haven't come close to being the fighter I'm supposed to be, but I have gotten everything in my life together and I am ready to reach my destiny, so watch out because I'm coming up.
