“There are still numerous huge battles out there for me such as the Amanda Serrano fight, a rematch with Delfine Persoon along with a struggle with Cecilia Br??khus but the very first goal is November two and winning another world title.
“I really don’t have some issues making lightweight so that I believe I can move comfortably between the 2 weights. I always want to drive myself and Christina is a wonderful world champion, so it’s going to be a huge test for me.”
