(DEC 14) MONTREAL, Quebec,
Canada The “IRRESISTIBLEII” event featuring the World
light flyweight unification championship between WBC champion
Kim Clavel (16-0, 3 KOs) and WBA champion Yesica Nery Plata
(28-2 , 3 KOs), is confirmed and will take place on Friday,
January 13, 2023, at Place Bell in Laval.
Clavel, fighting out of Montreal, is fully recovered from the
flu and fever that knocked her down a few days before her
originally scheduled fight December 1. She resumed training last
week.
“We are now focusing on making this date of Friday January 13, a
memorable evening when for the first time in the history of
Quebec boxing,” Clavel noted, “someone from home will try to
unify 2 major world titles!
“By January 13, I will have only one thing in mind, to produce
the performance of my life to offer a unique gift to Quebecers
who give me phenomenal support; only one champion with 2 belts.”
Coach Danielle Bouchard is confident, saying: “The storm has
passed; the sky is turning blue again. Kim is gradually
regaining her vivacity and the return to training is going
well.”
Plata remains impassive and confident: “This unification fight
is what I have dreamed of all my life,” she commented. “We
continue our training with the same objective. Kim did well to
think of her health as the most precious thing to us. I wish Kim
a full recovering and that she will have no excuses when I
return home with her belt and mine”
Clavel, 32, will defend her WBC Light Flyweight World crown for
the first time since her furious and frenzied fight that she and
Yesenia Gomez (19-6-3, 6KO) fought at the Casino de Montreal
last summer, when Clavel won by unanimous decision to take the
belt from Gomez .
The 28-year-old Plata was extremely impressive against the great
Argentine champion and women's boxing legend, Yesica Bopp (37-3,
17KO), last March in Panama. She won by way of a split decision,
dethroning the defending champion who held an impressive record
of 28-0 in world championship fights. January 13 will also mark
her first defense of her WBA title.
"Everything comes at the right time to whoever knows how to wait
(Clément Marot), and the thousands of fans who carefully kept
their tickets will be rewarded with a memorable evening, an
exciting final and a sublime Kim," a confident GYM President
Yvon Michel remarked..
