By David Selwyn
Eileen "The Hawaiian Mongoose " Olszewski will defend her IFBA World Flyweight Championship on January 16th, 2015 against Christina Fuentes. The fight will take place in Fuentes's hometown of Laredo Texas. It will be the first Female World Championship to be held in Laredo,Texas and is being promoted by Triple A Promotions.
Olszewski is a 3 time world champion. This will be her 9th world title fight in only her 18th professional fight.
The "Hawaiian Mongoose was only 4-0 when she fought for first world title . She fought the WBC Flyweight Champion Stefania Bianchini (16-2-2 ) and earned a hard fought draw in the champion's home country of Italy.In her next fight at the age of 39, Eileen fought WBAN's # 1 ranked flyweight in the world Elena "Baby Doll" Reid , Olszewski was the opponent for Reid who at the time was the IFBA and WIBA champion. Olszewski easily beat Reid and won her first world title.
Olszewski later added the GBU World title and on September 25th 2013 she earned her third World Championship with a brutal TKO win over Patricia Alcivar capturing her current IFBA title.
Earlier this month, Bernard Hopkins lost all his World Titles at the age of 49. This loss left Olszewski as the oldest current World Champion at 46 years young.
Christina Fuentes is only 22 years old. This will be her 2nd try at a World Championship. Despite the 24 year age difference, these two ladies have a lot in common.
Both Women have a history of fighting the best fighters in the world and do not back down from a challenge. They both have the distinction of never being knocked down or stopped in a fight. They are both true professionals who have mutual respect for each other.
