(FEB 26) The #1 Ranked female flyweight in the world, Elena "Baby Doll" Reid (19-3-5), will be joining IBF Jr. Bantamweight Champion, Dimitri "The Baby" Kirilov, in defending a world title on the February 28, 2008 Roseland Ballroom show promoted by Cedric Kushner's Gotham Boxing and Steve Bash's Bash Boxing, Inc. 

Two months after becoming the first active World Champion in boxing history to win an MMA fight, "Baby Doll" Reid will be climbing back into the boxing ring in defense of her WIBA World Flyweight Title against unbeaten New Yorker Olszewski (4-0-1).   

Reid, the uncrowned WIBF flyweight champion after her disputed draw and decision loss in Germany to then champion Regina Halmich (54-1-1), will be making her first defense of her WIBA title.  Reid captured the WIBA title with an unanimous decision against Mary Elizabeth Ortega (28-3) in July of 2006 in Lake Tahoe, Nevada.  Reid captured her second world title in July of 2007 at the Pechanga Casino in Temecula, California.   Then IFBA Champion Shin-Hee Choi seemed to tower over Reid when they faced off for the pre-fight weigh in.   But Baby Doll's speed and power in the ring quickly nullified any height advantage as Reid dropped Chi early in round 2.  Baby Doll would go on to shut out the IFBA flyweight champion in an unanimous decision on the Best Damn Sports Show Period on Fox Sports Net.   One Best Damn Sports Show celebrity who was seated ringside was really impressed by what he saw live from Reid. "That woman can really fight" stated former Denver Bronco Super Bowl MVP Terrell Davis immediately after the fight.

"I am very excited and honored to make my New York debut at the Roseland Ballroom and I hope to keep growing my fan base coast to coast and around the world," stated Elena Reid.  "I would like to thank Bash Boxing and Gotham Boxing, as well as my sponsors for helping to make this fight possible.  I look forward to defending my championship belt and getting more belts along the way." 

The Challenger for Baby Doll's WIBA title, "Hawaiian Mongoose" Olszewski was born in Hawaii but has been a resident of New York for over 15 years. Olszewski had a stellar amateur career where she was 28-0 in national amateur competition and won multiple national and Golden Glove titles. Olszewski made a name for herself  professionally when she traveled to Italy to fight WBC Flyweight Champion Stefania Bianchini in September of 2007.  The bout ended in a controversial draw and an appeal for a rematch filed by with the WBC was granted.   Olszewski's talents are not limited to boxing as she studied ballet, has done stunt work for live action shows, and was an NBA NY Knicks "City Dancer" for three seasons.

"Elena Reid is considered the best female Flyweight in the world,” commented Eileen Olszewski.

 I watched her two fights with Regina Halmich and I think Elena won both of those fights. I feel very confident about fighting Elena and I know I will give an outstanding performance on 2/28 in my hometown of New York City."

Elena "Baby Doll" Reid 6 years 2 failed title attempts to win her world title so she will not be giving her title up without a fight. Olszewski was one winning round away from winning a world title in her last bout so she won't be lacking for confidence and she will be the one fighting at home this time around. The stage is now set for bout that be nothing less than crowd pleasing.
