When
discussing how much longer Undisputed Welterweight women’s
Champion Holly Holm wants to continue her boxing career I
had thought maybe she’d say 2-3 years tops; Holm replied
with no hesitation, “I have a good five years left before I
even think about retiring.” Holm still has the fire
and drive to leave even a bigger mark on her already growing
legend in women’s’ boxing. “I still have a lot of goals to
achieve and there is always someone out there to test me”,
stated Holm this past week.
