(OCT 5) Five-time World Champion Chevelle Hallback has been waiting on the sidelines as others continue to get those opportunities.

Hallback, a native of Plant City, Florida began her professional boxing career on February 21, 1997, capturing five world titles in four different weight classes along the way.

Hallback has been in training camp for the past five months in hopes of getting that call to fight while her manager has been contacting managers and promoters from around the world in an attempt to land her a bout.

Chevelle tells WBAN that she's patiently waiting on that call to fight:


"I can't understand why promoters who have fighters like Cecilia Braekhus, Erica Farias, Alejandra Oliveras, Fernanda Soledad Alegre, Klara Svesson, Delfine Persoon, Ana Laura Estuche and Svetlana Kulakova don't give us a call. A fight between me and any of these fighters would be a good one," Hallback said.

She also stated that at her age she feels good and ready to compete.

"Women in boxing develop much later than men and I feel strong right now. I just want to fight. My manager was in dialogue with Cecilia's camp before they signed to fight Ramona Khüne and I thought that Cecilia would give me another shot. Cecilia is the best female fighter in the world and she has carried herself as a champion should. It would be an honor to fight her again. Don't get me wrong (Chevelle said with a smile), I'll fight anybody within the 140 or 147 pound division, I just want that call to come before 2015 ends. I also heard that multiple world champion Alejandra "La Locmotora" Oliveras would fight me, well let's get it done," said Hallback.

Chevelle's management team tells WBAN that they will continue to work with fevor to land her a fight before the end of the year.

WBAN looks forward to new developments.
