Christy Martin still, arguably, the most recognized name in the sport of Women's boxing, will return to the ring on October 6 in a ten round, 140 pound bout with Angelica Martinez at the Couer d'Alene Casino in Worley, ID. Martin's last fight was a ten round loss to Holly Holm last September. Martinez, with a record of 5-2-1, coming off a six round win in July over Miriam Brakache, has fought Holm three times, gaining a draw in Colorado in 2004 and dropping decisions, in 2003 and in June, in New Mexico.

Asked about Martinez, Martin commented, "I saw tape of a couple of rounds of her last fight and she's a busy fighter, she comes forward and I certainly won't have to hunt for her in the ring." Asked about her future plans, Martin stated, "I'd like to get back in the ring before the end of the year and then maybe another bout in the first quarter of 2007. After that we'll just see what presents itself."
