Jamie Mitchell Wants a Rematch With Shannon Courtenay in America!
After traveling abroad to capture the WBA 118-pound championship from Shannon Courtenay (7-2, 3KOs) last October, Jamie Mitchell (8-0-2, 5KOs) wants a rematch to take place in the USA. An underdog heading into their first fight, Mitchell dominated the majority of the bout. The fight lost a little bit of its luster when Courtenay lost her title on the scale after failing to make weight. Initially, the Mitchell bout was to be her first title defense.
Immediately after the fight, in her post-fight interview, Courtenay said she wanted a rematch. A few months later, she would proclaim that she was injured during the fight and that affected her performance. Now fully healthy, Courtenay believes she would stop Mitchell.
MITCHELL WANTS TO RUN IT BACK IN AMERICA!
Now, as the champion, Mitchell rightfully wants the second dustup to happen on American soil. She took to her social media to let it be known that she feels it’s only right. However, one asks, would it make financial sense? Neither woman is a big name star in women’s boxing, although it appears Courtenay may have more of a following in the UK than Mitchell in America. Regardless, The Miracle has made her wishes loud and clear.
If Courtenay wants revenge, she may have to pack her bags and travel to America to get it.
