Under Salita’s promotional direction, Hammer will make her United States boxing debut on Dé hAoine, Eanáir 12, ag an casadh Cloch Resort Casino i Verona, Nua-Eabhrac, on the non-televised undercard of a ShoBox: An Giniúint Nua telecast (10 p.m. AGUS/PT), featuring unified Women’s Super Middleweight World Champion Claressa Shields’ WBC and IBF title defense against mandatory challenger Tori Nelson. Hammer is scheduled for a 10-round fight, highlights of which will be shown on SHOWTIME.
“I never had any doubt that my manager Harald Pia and I would reach an agreement,” said a happy Hammer of the signing. “I love the U.S.,” lean sí. “If you are successful here, you will be successful everywhere. Since the beginning of my boxing career it has been a dream of mine to fight in the U.S.. Ní féidir liom fanacht le haghaidh Eanáir 12.”

“Christina has all the tools to become a star in the U.S.,” Dúirt Dmitriy Salita. “Her skills, personality and appeal outside the ring make Christina a unique and special fighter in the talent-filled middleweight division. Creidim 2018 is going to be a historic year for women’s boxing all over the world.”

Christina is very happy to be fighting in the U.S. It is a dream of hers to be successful over here and she can’t wait to show the U.S. public who Christina Hammer is!”
