Reigning World Boxing Federation
Women’s World Welterweight
Champion Holly Holm will be
looking to further cement her
position as the Pound-For-Pound
best female fighter in the
world, when she moves down in
weight to challenge WBF World
Light Welterweight Champion
Myriam Lamare in a rematch on
December 7 at the Route 66
Casino in Albuquerque, New
Mexico.
Holm, 31-2-3 (9), conquered the
P-4-P crown in her last fight
when she reversed a previous
loss, and captured the WBF World
Welterweight title, against Anne
Sophie Mathis, and she is now
moving on to another Super Fight
a weight class below against
another Frenchwoman in Lamare,
20-3 (19), whom she beat on
points in an action-packed
battle in 2009.
“When Myriam and I met last
time, it was one of my toughest
fights”, said Holm at the press
conference to announce the bout.“I felt like she had me guessing
her game plan from round to
round. I have faith in my
promoter, who always believes in
me, and my trainer. I’m as
nervous as I’ll ever be, but I’m
excited to take on the
challenge.”
Prior to losing to Holm in their
first fight, Myriam Lamare had
won two world titles, and since
their original encounter in
January 2009, at Welterweight,
the 37-year-old from Marseille
won the WBF world Light
Welterweight title in October of
that same year, and has since
made two successful defenses.
This time they will fight at
Lamare´s best weight, and it is
sure to be another big night for
women’s boxing.
“Holly Holm has proven that
she's the best pound-for-pound
women's fighter in the world and
Myriam Lamare is the No. 1
world-rated light welterweight,"
promoter Lenny Fresquez said.
"Their first fight was very
competitive and I don't expect
anything less in their rematch
on December 7 at the beautiful
Route 66 Casino Hotel.”
Holly Holm vs. Myriam Lamare II,
for the World Boxing Federation
World Light Welterweight title,
is billed as “Fire And Ice”, and
will be promoted by Fresquez
Productions in association with
Route 66 Casino Hotel. For more
