I'm hoping to fight in September after speaking to Dave Lee and Denniston Sutherland. I gave them the names of two potential opponents who are both within my size and weight. One girl I have been dying to compete against since early 2008. She was injured so the fight was cancelled and I've been giving her first refusal ever since.
After a few weeks of not hearing anything I emailed the promoters to see if they had an opponent confirmed yet so I could piece together my fight plan. I then got an email back with a question I hate being asked: "What is the lightest you can weigh in at?"
It's hard finding opponents since there aren't too many women competing yet but it gets even harder if you weigh in too heavy or too light. Having struggled to weigh in at 65 kg (and then fight at 72 kg the next day). I now won't go below 67 kg and know the heaviest I can weigh in at is 73 kg. It's key to make sure you're not losing strength or sacrificing speed ad fitness by adding fat....
