(NOV 8) Current IBF flyweight
champion Ava "The Lady of Boxing" Knight (7-1-3, 4 KO's) is
seeking unification bouts with flyweight champions Mariana
Juarez (31-5-3, 13 KO's) and Susi Kentikian (29-0, 16 KO's).
"My goal is to be the undisputed flyweight champion of the
world,' said Knight. "Mariana Juarez and Susi Kentikian stand in
my way of that goal. All I want is an opportunity to prove that
I'm the best flyweight champion out there."
Trainer Ben Bautista states, "Ava is a complete fighter who can
do a lot of things in the ring. Since I've been with her she's
improved tremendously. Kentikian and Juarez are great champions
but I'm confident Ava's got what it takes to clean out the
flyweight division. I'm looking to keep her busy with another
fight before the end of 2011."
After knocking out Mexico's Arely Mucino (14-1-1, 8 KO's) last
month in her native land, Knight proves she's a fighter to be
taken seriously," says Knight. "It's very tough to come out
victorious when you're fighting in another country. You
basically have to score a knockout to win and that's what I did.
I'm hoping to defend my title or unify the belts in my next
fight." [
