Boxing champ Ava Knight meets Emilee Gettys at Bellator 238

The boxing champion has been added to Bellator’s upcoming show on Jan. 25 at The Forum in Inglewood, Calif., where she will fight Emilee Gettys in a strawweight bout on the main card. MMA Fighting confirmed the matchup following an initial report by MMA Junkie.

Knight, 31, made a successful Bellator and pro MMA debut when she defeated Shannon Goughary by third-round TKO at Bellator 228 in September. She then returned to the boxing ring in November, winning a unanimous decision over Luna del Mar Torroba to improve her boxing record to 19-2-5.
