What has been said?
Raven Chapman: “Don’t get me wrong, Skye is very good at what she does. She is a class fighter. But I just think I do everything better. Just expect violence on the night.
It’s definitely been a long time coming, Chapman told FightPost over Zoom.
I have been wanting an opportunity like this for the last few fights. I think I am deserving of it. My last three fights have been against world-ranked prospects. I think it is my time and it has come at a really good time for me.
Women’s boxing had such a big boom when it came on the scene. But now, all of a sudden, there is not as much excitement around for whatever reason,
Don’t get me wrong, Skye is very good at what she does. She is a class fighter. But I just think I do everything better. Just expect violence on the night. She has never had to deal with that. I have got a mental edge that I don’t think she has.
