(NOV 22) Leatitia “Baby
Girl” Robinson was supposed to fight on November 18th, on the "World
Title Wave" show in Edmonton, Canada---BUT she dropped off the card,
just days before the fight due to an alleged injury to her nose that she
supposedly received when sparring in the ring. Three unused
airline tickets, medical costs, and promotional costs the promoters
absorbed, in this cancellation, and buying a last-minute ticket for last
minute opponent, Laura Ramsey to fight Burton in a 10-round bout with a
72-hour notice.
But just five days after this cancellation--a press release has
announced that Robinson will be back in action against Cassandra
Geiggar in her hometown. Coincidental? Apparently, boxing
folks are not convinced.

Burton
In fact the Canadian Promoters, have requested that Robinson be
suspended for a year for this situation.
WBAN will keep boxing
folks updated on this on-going saga...
