Parting shots: Hallback
With her March 26 rematch against Holly Holm just days away, Chevelle Hallback is prepared mentally and physically for the bout and gives some insight on her preparation for the battle ahead, her career and her thoughts on Holly Holm.
Ever the gracious champion, Chevelle acknowledged Holly Holm. “I want to thank Holly for the opportunity to fight her again,” she said, and is pleased to return to Albuquerque where she captured the IFBA title on June 13, 2008 in a thrilling toe to toe victory over Jeannine Garside. “Albuquerque is a wonderful place. I love the weather and the people are very nice, and treat me as their own.”
All pleasantries aside, a tough training camp with trainers Sherman Henson and Torsten Kanzmeier sharpened Chevelle’s skill, increased her power, maintained her focus, and given her little time to dwell on Holly Holm’s preparations. Her sights are firmly set on victory. “I have not even thought about what Holly might be doing,” Chevelle stated. “My training has been very tough, but it will pay off. I am going to do this time around what I did NOT do last time, and that is to actually fight.”
Having her hand raised in victory against Holly Holm will give Chevelle’s career a tremendous boost and she makes her goal known once she secures that win. “A victory over Holly will get me one step closer to fighting on HBO and do volumes for my career,” she said. And March 26, Chevelle intends to do just that.. She will enter the ring to avenge a loss, make a definite career statement, then prepare a huge victory for herself for herself and women’s boxing, by crashing the all men’s barrier and stepping into the HBO spotlight.
Chevelle Hallback and Holly Holm headline “Warrior Vengeance” on Friday, March 26 at the Isleta Resort Casino in Albuquerque, New Mexico. For more information contact Fresquez Promotions, 505-884-7484.
