Posted on | August 5, 2008 | No Comments

August 4, 2008 — Top bantamweight contender Kaliesha “Wild Wild” West (10-0-0, 2 KO’s) is calling out NABF #1 contender Terri Lynn Cruz (16-5-2, 7 KO’s) after recent news surfaced that Cruz would be fighting for the NABF Female bantamweight title on September 11, 2008 against Marianne Churbirka (4-4-0, 3 KO’s). What is surprising to West and her team is that Cruz who is the #1 contender for the NABF bantamweight title, balked at an offer to fight West in July and is now scheduled to challenge Churbika who is not well known and hasn’t fought since 2006.

According to boxrec, West is currently the #2 contender in North America and feels like she is being ducked. Coming off an impressive knock-out win against Elizabeth Cervantes just proved that she is one of the elite female boxers in the sport and should be in a title bout. West is only the second boxer ever to knock-out Cervantes next to Melinda Cooper. Cruz is ranked #6 by the WBC while West is ranked #10 respectively.

Kay West would like no more than a fair chance at a shot for the title as she has earned it. For Terri Lynn Cruz and her managers to take a fight for the title against a boxer that hasn’t fought since 2006 is uncalled for. West would like to give fans a fight that is fair and good for women’s boxing, which is the top two bantamweight fighters in North America battling for the vacant NABF Female bantamweight title.
