(SEPT 25) WBAN has received an update on
WBAN's July 2007 Fighter of the Month,
Anne-Sophie Mathis,
of France was in South Florida and had a sparring session with
Yvonne Reis.
Bonnie Canino
told WBAN, "Yvonne Reis had the pleasure to meet WBA and the WIBF
World Champion French Boxer Anne Mathis. We had schedule a sparring
session here at the gym in South Florida with Yvonne and Anne. I had
looked her up on the WBAN to see her record, weight, height, and
experiences. I had notice she fights at 140 pounds and she was only
5’5 according to her biography. I told Yvonne that Anne the boxer
was smaller than her and was light. Yvonne and I was in shock at
first seeing Ana the boxer, because she was 5’11½ in height
and she seemed to be walking around as a Middleweight. Yvonne got a
chance to box twice for a six-round sparring session. Both boxers
were great, allowing themselves to fight for the love of doing it,
going all out. Both boxers showed a lot of skills and heart during
their session. This Boxer Anne Mathis fights at 140 pounds is
a big cookie for a Jr. Welterweight and can box."
WBAN does apologize for the typo error on Mathis biography, and
it will be corrected.
