 WORCESTER, Massa. (Juni 1, 2017) – Popular heavyweight Sonya “De geleerde” Lamonaki's neemt Laura “Dame Ram” Ramsey voor de vacante Universal Boxing Federation (UBF) World title, op zaterdag nacht, Juni 10, in de acht-ronde “De toekomst van New England 3” co-feature at the DCU Center (Tentoonstellingszaal) in Worcester, Massachusetts.“De toekomst van New England 3” wordt gepresenteerd door Rivera Promotions Entertainment (RPE), dat eigendom is van en wordt geëxploiteerd door drievoudig gepensioneerden, twee divisie wereldkampioen Jose Antonio Rivera en zijn zoon, Anthonee (A.J.) Rivera.
Undefeated prospect Irvin Gonzalez (6-0, 6 KO), 21, headlines at home in his first scheduled eight-round bout, tegen Raúl Lopez (10-2-1, 5 KO), van Bronx (NY), for the vacant UBF All-American super featherweight championship.
“I am excited to be able to have our first world championship boxing match on our ‘New England’s 3’ boks,” promoter Jose Rivera commented. “It’s special because it’s a women’s World Heavyweight title fight with veterans like Sonya and Laura, who also have some hostilities towards one another. They’ve both earned this opportunity to fight for the UBF Women’s World Heavyweight Championship. I expect fireworks and know fans will be in for a treat.”
Pro-boksen keert voor het eerst terug naar het DCU Center in 11 jaar, toen promotor Jose Antonio Rivera versloeg Alejandro Garcia, door middel van een unaniem besluit van twaalf ronden, voor de World Boxing Association (WBA) Wereldtitel superweltergewicht.
Born in Greece, Lamonaki's (10-2-2, 1 KO), who grew-up in Turners Falls (MA), is a teacher in New York City. She is a Springfield College graduate and has two Master’s Degrees. “I’m honored to be fighting in the first world title fight in Worcester since Jose Rivera,” Lamonakis said. “I’m from Massachusetts and I fought twice at Mechanics Hall (in Worcester, including her pro debut in 2010). I heard Jose was promoting shows in Worcester, so I called to say I’d like to fight for a world title on one of his cards. I think he saw me fight before and he quickly agreed.
“This is still a make-dominates sport. I tell young girls to box as a side job. I have two Master’s Degrees and I’m a full-time teacher in New York. Boxing is my hobby. Very few women can make enough money boxing to make a good living. I don’t know if it’s because I was born in Greece and boxing is in my blood, but I love this sport and that’s what keeps me going. I guess I was born to fight. I enjoy getting in the ring. I’ve gotten a lot from boxing and now I’m giving back to amateurs in New York City as president of a youth organization.”
Lamonaki's; is a former International Boxing Organization World and New York State female heavyweight champion. Her opponent, Ramsey (10-7, KO), as a two-time world title challenger is hoping the third time is the charm for her. They have history together and this fight nearly happened a few years ago.
“I beat her daughter (Alysia Williams-Stevenson) in my second pro fight,” Lamonakis explained. “She said she’s see me and now, seven years later, we’re fighting. She’s a little older than me and I needed more fights before I fought her. We were supposed to fight a few years ago in Aruba but a hurricane cancelled the show.”
