FORMER Women’s International Boxing Association bantamweight champion Shondell `The Mystery Lady’ Alfred could end a lengthy layoff and be back in the ring late next month.
A source close to Alfred yesterday confirmed that plans are in the making to have Alfred fight Mandessa Moses next month end. “The intention is to have her fight on the same card that Andrew `Six Head’ Lewis is fighting on. That card is scheduled for February 28 in Jamaica,” the source disclosed.
Alfred has not been in the ring since defeating Olga Julio on November 6, 2010 at the Princess Hotel and Casino. She was set to make a comeback in November 2012 against Mexican, Zulina Muñoz, for the World Boxing Council (WBC) female Super/flyweight title.
However, in a bizarre twist the fight was cancelled when doctors, performing medical checks hours before the bout, discovered that the Guyanese was more than two months pregnant.
“Shondell is quite excited about getting back into competitive boxing and has been hard at training,” the source added.
Alfred, who will turn 33 in July, has returned to training and is preparing at the Forgotten Youth Foundation for her next engagement. She won the vacant WIBA title in September 2009 following a points-decision win over Corinne Van Ryck DeGroot.
