Ann Wolfe

(APR 21) Two world champions, Ann Wolfe and Vonda Ward are ready to duke it out for the Light Heavy Weight Championship of the world. The fight, set for May 8th at the Biloxi, MS Coast Coliseum is on, according to RPM Boxing, managers for Ann Wolfe.
Vonda Ward (18-0-0-15 KO) is the current Light Heavy Weight Champion. At 6'6", Ward is an imposing figure with height and reach advantages over virtually everyone she has fought. This will be true of the Ann Wolfe fight as well.
While her KO record is impressive, Ward is not particularly known for hard hitting. Rather, she relentlessly wears her opponents down and, then TKO's them with a flurry of punches. Ward enters the ring superbly conditioned and ready to fight 10 rounds. Most of her fights have gone into the late rounds.
On the other hand, Ward is seen as mechanical and somewhat robotic, letting her physical advantages work for her. She will have to change these tactics if she wants to beat Ann Wolfe.
Ann Wolfe (16-1-0-11 Ko's) is a legendary boxer/puncher. Wolfe fights with an arsenal of weapons, not the least of which is a wicked right hand and bruising jab. Perhaps the hardest puncher in female boxing, Wolfe hits hard and often. Wolfe, soft spoken out of the ring, is pure terror in the ring. Ann brings extremely good, versatile boxing skills and superb conditioning, easily able to go toe to toe for ten rounds.
Except for a loss to Valerie Mahfood early in her career, since rectified, Ann has never been knocked down, or even wobbled in any of her many tough fights. Ann has a simple objective in accepting the challenge from Ward, to win the Light Heavy Weight championship of the world.
By doing so, Ann will hold world titles in four weight classes, Jr. Middleweight, Middleweight, Super Middleweight and Light Heavy Weight. This, in Ann's opinion and that of many others, will install Ann as the best pound for pound female fighter in the world.
Given Laila Ali's apparent withdrawal from boxing, Ann Wolfe is currently the undisputed Super Middleweight champion of the world. But, to achieve her goal of best pound for pound fighter, Ann first has to get by Vonda Ward.
With both of these capable fighters driven to succeed, the showdown in Biloxi should prove to a fight well worth watching.
