(FEB 8) Elena Reid will defend her WIBA flyweight title against
Eileen Olszewski on February 28, over ten rounds, at Roseland
Ballroom in New York City. Reid (19-3-5) has not fought since her
July 7 title defense win over Shin-Hee-Choi in Temecula, CA and has
fought only three times in the past two years.
She recently
participated in her first MMA competition. Olszewski (4-0-1) is
coming off a ten round title bout draw in September with WBC
flyweight champion, Stefania Bianchini, in Italy.
Olszewski is looking forward to her chance at the title and is well
aware of her opponent. "Elena Reid is considered the number on
flyweight in the world. I saw her two fights with Regina Halmich and
I thought she won both. I feel very confident about fighting and I
know I'll give an outstanding performance on February 28 in my
hometown."
