Before: Reports have been circulating that Sarah and Danielle are on the Foxfire Boxing list to file its Young Flyweight slot. Sarah has had but one fight (a KO5 loss to Ariel Winter), but that is still one more fight Danielle. Foxfire Boxing management said to have arranged this fight as an audition though no one seems willing to acknowledge it.
“I hope it’s true,” says Sarah Jeffery, “I have noticed some mysterious visitors to the gym where I do my training. People tell me they are from Foxfire and maybe other groups. I was thrilled to get this offer and wouldn’t you know it—right on the heels of that I get an offer to fight Jeannette McCurdy on an Asylum card. Maybe its my being on CHARMED, but finally I am getting noticed! Danielle Russell? Well, sure I’ve heard of her, but 3 years can make a big difference in young fighters. I expect her to be wild and a wild fighter can get lucky—I will make sure she doesn’t get lucky with me!”
“You know there have been visitors to my gym, too,” confirms Danielle Rose Russell with a smile, “and I sure hope they like what they have seen on me. I realize this fight is especially important for me. You can spar all you want in a gym, but even a newcomer like me knows prospective managers want to see you a real fight. So I was very happy to land this light and, yes, It’s true I’ll be at the same Asylum card as Sarah Jeffery, but that fight will be at bantam and I’ll be taking on Kat Dennings. She’s going to be a real test of how I do at that weight. I am told Foxfire is looking for a flyweight, but I think I could grow into bantam. Look what’s happening with Hayden Panettiere testing the waters at bantam. I want to be able to present myself as a Flyweight With Potential for Bantam. I think that would be a good selling point for me.”
