Kallia Kourouni is trying to fight her way to a shot at Terri Harper
After a surreal trip to Tijuana, Kallia Kourouni hopes another win will put her on course for a shot at WBC titlist Terri Harper
THE minor belts sanctioning bodies issue can be a nuisance, confusing the world title picture for observers of the sport. But for a boxer trying to work their way up the rankings, they can be a lifeline. Kallia Kouroui is trying to fight her way up to a shot at WBC super-featherweight champion Terri Harper.
In Mexico last month Kourouni picked up a WBC International strap when she stopped Dayanna Gonzalez. She hopes winning another ranking belt will put her in the frame to challenge Harper. “If I win after I must challenge Terri Harper, if she still has the belt,” Kourouni said. “It’s a very big opportunity for me. The WBC International was the first step, that opened the door for me for a bigger step after.”
