(FEB 22) Olivia "The
Predator" Gerula, of Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada, one of
the fearless female boxers in the sport that has fought since
1997---and has fought anywhere and anyone, taking on any
"comers" that dared to step in the ring with her--is ready to
step back into the ring after a "glitch" kept her from the ring
since her last fight in March of 2018.
Gerula told WBAN that it all began
in Denmark last year, when she said it had rocked her boxing
career and flipped her life upside down. But this all
changed on Thursday of this week, when she received great news
that changed all of that which had caused a slight nightmare for
her being able to get back into the ring.
Gerula, explained about the
dilemma that happened last year....
"They flagged an MRI that had been done on me in Denmark, and
apparently they spotted something that ended up having them not
letting me fight until I was able to do a follow-up with a
doctor. My fight was cancelled, and was told by them that
my career was done. I was devastated to put it lightly."
Gerula said, "upon returning back to Canada I had to wait eight
weeks for them to send me my results, then another eight weeks
for the next MRI. That one was done in January 2020 and it
clearly showed that there was no damage of any kind."
Gerula had another MRI on February 17th that included
the "seizure protocol" which was more similar to the Denmark
test, and she said that the results cleared her. Gerula said
added: "Zero damage. Big, beautiful, healthy brain!"
Even though Gerula felt robbed of the time to clear this
"glitch" up and disliked the possibility of damage to her boxing
career----there was definitely a light at the end of the tunnel.
So the GOOD NEWS is that Gerula is ready to step in the ring and
continue her long-time boxing career.
Lastly, Gerula reflected about her long-time boxing career, "I
want to retire on my own terms, with my head high and perhaps
one or two more championship titles. I'm prepared to dedicate
one last year to my boxing career. I am going to
eat, sleep, and breathe boxing! Only then will I be satisfied
letting it go."
