(SEPT 20) Tonight, in Denver, Colorado, Janae Archuleta was set
to fight Brenda Drexel, of Texas in a scheduled four-round bout
at 140 lbs. (plus or minus).
When Drexel arrived in Colorado for the weigh-in yesterday and climbed
on the scales, no one imagined that she would top the scales at 184
lbs.!
Drexel told WBAN that she left for Colorado, she thought she weighed 155
lbs, and that she would drop the weight before the weigh-in. I asked her
how she would go from 155 to 140 the same day she arrived, but she did
not have a ready answer.
Drexel told WBAN, “From my heart, I am sincerely sorry.” She also told
WBAN, that at 41 years old she is ready to retire. She is working with
other women boxers, and is doing some coaching at this time.
Drexel’s manager, Willie Edwards told WBAN that he wanted to publicly
apologize to Janae Archuleta and her team.
He told WBAN, “ I manage Brenda, but I don’t live in the same city as
her. I would never knowingly bring someone to fight that hasn’t trained
or isn’t in shape to fight.” |
