I have a short window left, so we are going to be active, keep winning, and eventually get back to the mountain top. Regaining a world title is my No. 1 goal, and I am feeling very strong at 160. It all starts once again on July 26 in my hometown. Let’s eat.”

DETROIT (April 24, 2025) – Salita Promotions today announced the signing of reigning IBF Light Heavyweight World Champion Lani Daniels (11-2-2, 1 KO) and WBA Light Heavyweight World Champion Che Kenneally (5-0, 2 KOS) as the latest additions to an elite group of female boxers on the roster. Joining the most decorated female fighter of all time, and one of the most decorated male or female fighters in history, Undisputed Heavyweight World Champion Claressa Shields, and newly signed Unified Super Middleweight World Champion Franchón Crews-Dezurn, Salita Promotions continues to build the strongest women’s roster in boxing.

“We are deeply committed to advancing equality in boxing by creating real opportunities for women to compete, succeed, and inspire on the world stage,"Sagde Dmitriy Salita, Præsident for Salita Promotions. “Signing elite champions like Lani Daniels and Che Kenneally reflects our belief that women’s boxing deserves the same investment, visibility, and respect as the men’s game.

Coined “The Smiling Assassin,” Daniels began her professional boxing career in 2017. Securing the ANBF Australasian Heavyweight title in 2023, Daniels earned a world title opportunity against Alrie Meleisea that same year for the IBF Heavyweight World title and won. After defending the belt once against South Africa’s Razel Mohammed, Daniels challenged for the IBF Light Heavyweight title against Desley Robinson. Winning the title bout via majority decision, Daniels made history by becoming the first New Zealand born fighter to win two world titles, as well as win two world titles in different weight divisions. Currently on the strength of seven-straight victories, Daniels has proven to be a fighter inside and outside of the ring. At 14-years-old, Daniels tragically lost her younger brother to leukemia, sending her down a troubled path with drugs and suicidal thoughts. Championing the importance of mental health, Daniels has become an inspiration for her home country as she continues to set records.

Following a masterclass performance in front of her hometown of the Gold Coast to win the vacant WBA Light Heavyweight title, the 6’0” tall Kenneally, 30, continues to shine and now joins Salita Promotions’ impressive slate of women’s champions.
