(NOV 15)  Tonight at the Five Starr Banquet, in Queens, New York, the card was cancelled, that would have featured Sonya Lamonakis  vs. Gwendolyn O’Neill.  They were to fight for a title in an eight rounder—but in a pre-fight medical examination yesterday, O’Neill failed to pass.

In a news article posted on the Recorder today, they reported that Lamonakis was devastated by the news but that she was told she would get another title fight against a different opponent mid- December.

With the cancellation, WBAN has received an open challenge to Sonya Lamonakis from heavyweight Martha Salazar, of California.

Team Salazar said the following:

Martha Salazar 12-4-0 wants to issue a challenge. Sonya said after her last fight on an interview on Youtube that she wanted to fight me again in her backyard. I want that shot.  The most legitimate title fight in our division is a rematch against me. I will take that fight. I will fight her for a title. I will fight her in her backyard.

Blanca Gutierrez, Salazar’s manager says, “Both of these ladies have been training. They are both at the top of their game and people want to see this rematch happen. This fight is the most legitimate fight in the female heavyweight division hands down.”
