(JUNE 2) WBO Bantamweight Champion, Kaliesha “Wild Wild” West (Moreno Valley, California, 13-1-2, 4
KOs), will defend her title in a 10-round title bout against Ava
“Lady of Boxing” Knight (Chico, California, 6-1-2, 3KOS), on
Saturday, June 18, 2011, at the Pico Rivera Sports Arena, in
Pico Rivera, California.
In this highly anticipated
rematch, West will look to correct the only loss of her career,
as Ava Knight is the only boxer to ever defeat her. On November
18, 2008, Knight defeated West by unanimous decision in an eight
round bout. Both fighters will meet at 118 pounds.
West’s title defense against Knight will be featured as the
boxing main event on International Fight Showdown’s fight card,
titled, “IFS8: Mass Destruction,” which also will feature top
MMA and Muay Thai talent. The fight card is promoted by Red
Scorpion Promotions.
