Kim who holds an undefeated record of 16-0 (3 KOs) and her opponent Yesenia, 28-2 (3 KOs) will headline the first female fight on ESPN+ in Canada.
The event will be held under the promotion Groupe Yvon Michel at the Bell Centre in Montreal, Quebec, which holds a little over 21000 seats, and is one of the worlds busiest stadiums, generally getting the biggest traffic for stadiums in Canada. Also the worlds biggest hockey stadium.
This fight was suppose to happen on December 1st, but was postponed because of some health issues that Clavel was facing.
This is sure to be a great match between the two. Both are not big knockout artist but are very technical in their right. But also make history for the two in Canada, and Kim in her hometown where she lives and trains, Montreal.
Kim who is looking good ahead of her match has released some training photos with coach Stephan Larouche.
