(DEC 7)  Missy Fiorentino underwent successful surgery on Friday, December 5 to repair a torn cartilage in the meniscus of her right knee, an injury suffered while training for a November bout with Myriam Chomaz.

According to Shirley Ouellette, Fiorentino's mother and manager, "the doctor said everything went well. Missy is home resting and will begin therapy on Tuesday. She is anxious for a fast recovery and hopes to resume training sometime early in the new year."

Fiorentino is the current NABF super featherweight title holder and the mandatory challenger for the WBC super featherweight crown, currently held by Jelena Mrdjenovich.
