Eileen Olszewski:
Back to Italia for the WBC
Flyweight Title
By David Pambianchi

     On July 18th, WIBA title holder
Eileen Olszewski faces Italy's reigning
champion Simona Galassi for what
promises to be a dramatic WBC
Flyweight Championship bout. Simona
"The Romagna Queen" captured the
title in March from Stephania Bianchini
who fought a controversial Draw with
Eileen last September. Now, Eileen
"The Hawaiian Mongoose" plans to get
the record straight.
     Located on the Adriatic Sea, the two proven, tough and skilled
combatants will collide at the beautiful, seaside resort town of Civitanova
Marche. Eileen's Manager David Selwyn commends Simona and Sal
Cerchi, "The biggest promoter in Italy, for giving us this opportunity."
    Mr. Selwyn points out that Eileen does
well against Southpaws. (Incidentally, he
also manages Southpaw Jill Emery who
recently defeated Angel Martinez for the
IFBA Welterweight title.) "At Eileen's last
fight against Carina Moreno, she was
disappointed because she worked so hard
for it, but became ill." Her Trainer and
husband Matthew states that, "She
mentally fought off flu-like symptoms, but
that, and the high altitude of Albuquerque,
New Mexico just slowed her down
physically." Mr. Selwyn emphatically adds,
"After Italy, we'll challenge Carina again for
a Winner-take-all match."

Not being one for soft matches, Eileen
wants only to fight the best, and praising
her opponent, "I believe Simona feels the
same way I do. She's a skilled boxer, so
strategy and the ability to adapt quickly in
the ring will play a key roll. I'll have to
calculate moves, and mentally out think
her."

Whatever training and fight plans lead up
to Civitanova Marche, this exciting match
up should add another sparkle to boxing
as well as the graveled beaches of this
colorful Italian port town.
