Of course, we're very excited to see another awesome issue of Boxing World Magazine appear here on the new board and glad to see that is one monthly tradition that will absolutely continue! This was another fantastic issue, though of course, Vanessa Hudgens definitely cut out the section involving Cassie Scerbo with her 'Why Hudgy Is Pudgy' "classic" write-up and put that right on her dart board for additional motivation to dislike Scerbo, as if she needed any! Overall, though, another stellar issue and we can't say thanks enough to the fine staff at Boxing World Online (BWO) for making this possible. Our team here at Lookout! Boxing look forward to it every month and this month was absolutely no exception! Keep up the great work month in and month out!!

-Lookout!

YES! Do check out this month's issue of Boxing World Magazine! It was lovely talking to them, and as a little thanks to the fans that haven't booed me out of the ring yet, here is an excerpt of my interview. Thanks again Boxing World, I love your magazine! Oh, and go Amanda Righetti! She looks phenomenal on the cover! What a win!

******************************

Daisy Ridley talks with Boxing World

Boxing World: For those unaware, your career is off to a stellar start. In five fights, you are undefeated. It all began with a win on debut over fellow British beauty Lucy Mecklenburgh, who has had more success in the BBU, but is quite the talent. Who has been your toughest challenge so far?

Daisy Ridley: Gee, that’s tough. Dakota Johnson was a battle. She’s got skills. But it’s hard to go past Katie McGrath for raw talent. She could make some serious waves in this league with the right management and training. I have a lot of respect for her and I think that was maybe my toughest bout so far. I’m expecting to have a different answer in a week though.

BW: After the July PPV?

DR: Yeah, big challenge I’ve set for myself there.

BW: We’ll get to that bout in a moment, but I hear that isn’t the only challenge you have set yourself. Big plans for the future?

DR: Yes. I want the Bantamweight title. I don’t care if it’s tomorrow, in a year, or in a decade, but I know I have what it takes and I want to be able to look back one day and say, “yep, I was the FCBA Bantam champ.”

BW: Of course, that is no mean feat, and the dream of every fighter, but you seem to be off to a good start.

DR: Things have gone swimmingly, so far. Signing with ABC has been the best decision I’ve made. Jen Connelly and Alyssa Milano had a plan in mind for me from day one and at the moment it’s working. I’m training hard and I feel like I’m making good progress. I feel great actually.

BW: Others obviously agree. You have managed to earn the attention of Laura Vandervoort, which brings us to next week’s big PPV challenge.

DR: I know! It’s a big step for me, but I’m ready. I’m keen to show my stuff against Laura at the July PPV, and facing a dynamo like her gives me the perfect opportunity to show the world what I have.

BW: And what is that?

DR: The ability to win that title one day, of course!

BW: Do you have near-future opponents in mind, or do you wait until after the bout with Vandervoort to discuss that kind of thing with your team?

DR: No, I wait. I don’t need to be thinking about anybody else this month. I focus solely on my next opponent, and once that is in the past, we can decide on who may be my most suitable challenge next up.

BW: So it will depend on the result against Laura?

DR: In a way. It will depend on my performance and how I’m feeling, sure. Katie McGrath felt like a good challenge, but I’ve shown consistency and it was felt I would benefit from having a crack at a much more experienced fighter. Win or lose, I’m at the point where I will learn more from Laura than someone who the critics may say is more on my level.

BW: And if you win, what a statement!

DR: Absolutely. If I do beat Laura, I know I’m ready for even more. It’s tough to say who I’ll be facing in the coming months, because someone of Laura’s quality is really new to me, so I have no idea how things will feel in that ring. It may feel like just another bout, or it may feel wildly different. I mean, there’s a reason she’s ranked 34th of all Bantams.

BW: But you currently reside at 54th, which is not too far off the pace.

DR: It’s not, and I’m happy with that. I’m only five fights into my boxing career and I’ve come close to the top 50. I’m waiting for the bubble to burst, because it’s all been so peachy. I just hope I can continue to trend upwards. It’d be a shame to get this far so quickly only to fall away. But I’m working my ass off, and all I can do is hope that keeps proving to be enough.

BW: And we’re told you are sparring a lot with Briana Evigan, who is now ranked inside the top 30, so that has to give you some confidence.

DR: Oh, of course. It’s handy having such great fighters around me. I’m learning a lot from Briana, not to mention Sophia and of course Jen and Alyssa. You can never have enough positive influences and sources to draw inspiration from. And of course being used to Briana should help this next bout feel as normal a progression as possible.

BW: Well, we wish you all the best, and we too hope that you continue to trend upwards. It has been exciting watching you storm the ranks.

DR: Thanks! And a big thanks to all the fans who keep turning up and not hating the fact that I’m winning. I appreciate the support. See you all at the July PPV!
