(JULY 24) Moreno Valley, CA — After an 8 month hiatus, Kay “Wild Wild” West will be stepping back in the ring on a mission to fight for a world title and show women’s boxing that she a force to reckoned with.

On August 1, 2009, West (10-1-0, 2 KO’s) will be squaring off against veteran boxer Rolanda Andrews (8-7-1, 4 KO’s) at the Agua Calienete Casino in Rancho Mirage, California. West is coming off a tough loss but is eager to get back in the ring and show everybody who Kay West really is.

Although West normally fights in the bantamweight division, this bout will take place at 125 lbs. When speaking to manager/trainer Juan West, he stated that “Team West has been trying to find a viable opponent at 118 lbs.; however, there are currently no bantamweights that want to get in the ring with Kaliesha. This makes it tough for me as a manager to get her fights, so to keep her active we took the fight with Rolanda.” Contrary to reports that Andrews accepted a challenge from West, Kay is coming to fight and have Rolanda accept the fact that she’ll have her eighth loss by the end of the night.

Speaking over the phone from training camp in Moreno Valley, Kay expressed the following thoughts on her bout with Andrews; “I’m just ready to get back in the ring and do my thing. It’s been 8 months since I’ve been in the ring and I’m ready. I’ve been training hard in the gym these last 8 months so I’m ready physically and mentally to take on Rolanda Andrews. I appreciate the opportunity that Gary Shaw Promotions has given me and I promise to give the boxing fans in my home town a great show.”
