Ronica Jeffrey versus Olivia Gerula
- Main event of a seven bout card at Westchester County Center for promoter Diane Lee Fischer and Dee Lee Promotions.
- Broadcast on Gofightlive on the internet, commentary by former female world light welterweight and welterweight world champion Kathy Collins
- Fought for the vacant International Women's Boxing Federation World Super Featherweight title, Jeffrey being the interim WIBA champion.
- Jeffrey had height and reach advantage. Former WBC Female World Super Featherweight champion Gerula had the experience of being in her sixth consecutive female world title fight. Gerula tried to fight her way inside from the start, but Jeffrey moved in and out and side to side all night, not leaving Gerula with a target to attack. Occasionally both fighters would land a power shot here or there, or go toe-to-toe on the inside. Neither fight had a knockout punch, and Jeffrey won the technical battle. Gerula came forward with pressure and tried to cut off the ring, but missed most punches as Jeffrey didn't stay there. Jeffrey won seven rounds on punch count volume and straight jabs which scored. Gerula, from Canada, and Jeffrey were in top condition. Neither fighter was hurt during the ten rounder. Referee Ron Lipton did not have to break the fighters once during the contest. Clean bout. Fourth world title bout loss in a row for Gerula after winning two WBC world title bouts.
