Jeri Sitzes and Misty Sutherland were originally scheduled to meet May 14th at Lion Fight Promotions "Battle in the Desert 2", however, an injury to Sutherland forced her out of the fight. Sitzes defeated Sally McCarthy that night via TKO in the second round and is now once again set to meet Sutherland. The pair is set to fight for Sitzes WBC Muay Thai women's featherweight title on August 20th at Lion Fight Promotions "Battle in the Desert 3". Muay Thai Authority has confirmed the fight with sources close the situation.
Sitzes will be looking to avoid the first loss of her career, while Sutherland will be looking to take the title back to Canada. Sitzes is a well rounded fighter from Missouri who has proven to be a finisher. Part of what makes Sitzes an exciting fighter as that she goes in to finish every time she steps into the ring. Sutherland is trained by Mike Miles and has had over 30 amateur and pro fights combined. Like all Mike Miles students she is tough as nails and will be a test for Sitzes who's last two fights on U.S. soil were against opponents who took the fights on short notice.
