Former WBC Lightweight world champion, Jessica “The Ragin” Rakoczy (29-3, 10 KO’s) returns to the ring April 23, 2009 at the Tachi Palace Casino in LemooreCA, in a rematch against New York, N.Y.’s Belinda Laracuente (23-24-3). Rakcozy took a year off while nursing her body as she was pregnant and gave birth on November 16th 2009, to a healthy 7 lbs 9 oz baby boy, whom she named Jesse Jr.

“Words can’t describe what its like being a mother for the first time.” said Rakcozy. “I’m very blessed to have Jesse Jr. in my life. I’m very appreciative to Christian Printup who stuck with me through this layoff. My goal is to comeback strong and prove to everyone that I’m an elite fighter. I can’t wait to get in the ring and perform to my best ability.”

In Rakoczy’s last fight against Cindy Serrano on April 17, 2008, Jessica won every round on all scorecards, proving she has the skills to compete at the highest level. With that victory, Rakoczy captured the NABF title, and looks to defend it come fight night with hopes of recapturing the WBC world lightweight championship.
