KIM CLAVEL FULLY RECOVERED; CLAVEL/PLATA UNIFICATION AT BELL PLACE, JANUARY 13, 2023 PhilBoxing.com Thu, 15 Dec 2022  MONTREAL, Quebec, Canada (December 14, 2022) — The “IRRESISTIBLEII” event featuring the World light flyweight unification championship between WBC champion Kim Clavel (16-0, 3 KOs) and WBA champion Yesica Nery Plata (28-2 , 3 KOs), is confirmed and will take place on Friday, January 13, 2023, at Place Bell in Laval. Clavel, fighting out of Montreal, is fully recovered from the flu and fever that knocked her down a few days before her originally scheduled fight December 1. She resumed training last week. “We are now focusing on making this date of Friday January 13, a memorable evening when for the first time in the history of Quebec boxing,” Clavel noted, “someone from home will try to unify 2 major world titles! “By January 13, I will have only one thing in mind, to produce the performance of my life to offer a unique gift to Quebecers who give me phenomenal support; only one champion with 2 belts.” Coach Danielle Bouchard is confident, saying: “The storm has passed; the sky is turning blue again. Kim is gradually regaining her vivacity and the return to training is going well.” Plata remains impassive and confident: “This unification fight is what I have dreamed of all my life,” she commented. “We continue our training with the same objective. Kim did well to think of her health as the most precious thing to us. I wish Kim a full recovering and that she will have no excuses when I return home with her belt and mine” Clavel, 32, will defend her WBC Light Flyweight World crown for the first time since her furious and frenzied fight that she and Yesenia Gomez (19-6-3, 6KO) fought at the Casino de Montreal last summer, when Clavel won by unanimous decision to take the belt from Gomez. The 28-year-old Plata was extremely impressive against the great Argentine champion and women's boxing legend, Yesica Bopp (37-3, 17KO), last March in Panama. She won by way of a split decision, dethroning the defending champion who held an impressive record of 28-0 in world championship fights. January 13 will also mark her first defense of her WBA title. "Everything comes at the right time to whoever knows how to wait (Clément Marot), and the thousands of fans who carefully kept their tickets will be rewarded with a memorable evening, an exciting final and a sublime Kim," a confident GYM President Yvon Michel remarked.
