“I’m excited to be fighting this weekend for Promoter David Damphousse.  I’m honored to be a part of David’s first All-Female Boxing Card.  This will be a historic moment in women’s boxing. As for the fight, Gerula is a tough and experienced fighter; but at the end of the night it will be my hand that’s raised. My theme for this fight is Miss Lone Ranger because I am not afraid to stand up to boxing promoters that are not giving women any justice.”  -Kaliesha West 

“My team knows that if she stands toe to toe with me she’s in trouble. No disrespect, she’s a very good fighter. I’m excited to step in the ring. No specific training. I train for myself to be ready for anything and at the top of my game.” –Olivia Gerula

“I’m proud of the way my daughter continues to be an activist for herself, and the other women boxers.  Hopefully, she will one day bring equality for women in her sport.  Kaliesha has worked very hard during this training camp, and I believe she is ready to make a statement in this fight.”

–Juan West Manager & Trainer
