A few months ago Shondel ‘Mystery Lady’ Alfred (pictured below) become Guyana’s world champion by a unanimous decision against Corrine De Groot (who also made an apperance on American Gladiator, pictured left) for the Women’s International Boxing Association (WIBA) bantamweight title. From the time the fight was over, Corrine and her corner began contesting the decision, claiming it was biased and that she had clearly won. The WIBA has been trying to get a rematch between the two fighters. Shondel has commented that the organization has yet to tell her the rematch has been set. She stands firm in her ability and win stating:
“Look I want to make it clear that Corrine is not anybody. I know I won that fight fair and everyone saw that. I want her to know that I am not afraid of her and I am not backing down from this fight again. I don’t know who she think she is, because everything has to be done on her terms so I want to know who is the champion really? She calling all the shots and these people just going with her, but I am not worried, because I know I would beat her again.
“They telling me that if I don’t give her this rematch within a certain time, they would strip me of the belt. I don’t know if they want to give people the impression that I don’t want to fight this girl again. I told you and plenty others before that I have no problem in fighting her again, because I will
say it bold that she can’t beat me.
“I’ll tell you this, even though I get this belt, the feeling of pride and satisfaction is not even there…Neither has anyone said `well Shondel, great job’ or anything but I know what I did and I know how hard I fought to get it,” Shondel told press.
