IBA, IFBA, WIBA and WBAN boxing champion Chevelle Hallback who has a 27-5-2 professional record, will make her pro mixed-martial-arts debut during a Dec. 5 Xtreme Fighting Championships event in Florida. Her expected opponent is not named as of yet.
“I’ve boxed in Japan, Canada, California, Las Vegas – all over the world, really,” Hellback stated in today’s press release. “I’m so excited to finally be able to show everyone right here in my own backyard what Chevelle Hallback is all about. And what I’m about is world championships. If I can win five combined world titles in boxing and MMA, I’ll undeniably go down in history as the greatest female fighter of all time — and that’s a legacy worth spilling blood for. [Because] I absolutely guarantee you, the blood that’s spilled won’t be my own.”
