Heather Hardy: "Silgado is a veteran who has fought everybody. I expected this kind of fight, and I prepared for it. I had a lot of rust to shake off. "I’m going to take the weekend to unpack the emotions surrounding the fight. It was lot to digest, being my first one with a new team, my first one since turning 40 and my first one with no kid at home. I have decisions to make moving forward but they can wait until Monday.” 
Heather Hardy (22-2, 4 KO's), Brooklyn born and raised and former World Boxing Organization Featherweight Champion, will bring "The Heat" back after 17 months of inactivity as she mounts another run at a world championship.

On October 27, 2018, Heather became world champion, winning the WBO featherweight title with a unanimous decision win over Shelly Vincent at Madison Square Garden. Heather lost the title the following September to Amanda Serrano in a clash of women boxing stars.
