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.
