Michelle Aboro has been boxing for the last few years. She was boxing under Universum (same outfit Regina Halmich is with) in Germany and was about 21 fights undefeated. I heard she was supposed to be fighting Illonka but that it fell through. I dont know what weight though, because Aboro is a very lean 55kg.

Lisa Houghton Smith has never fought Lisa Howarth. They have trained together quite a bit and are friends, but also they are in different weight classes. Lisa Houghton Smith is 48-50kg but Lisa Howarth was always 52-53. Lisa Howarth is a great fighter with amazing technique and natural punch power, but she was in her most acive stage before most of the girls fighting now were around. She can still put apair of gloves on after no training for months and be sharp and dangerous, but I think its fair to say she's semi retired now. She has her best years behind her and achieved more than most fighters could dream of.

Illonka is a warrior and is getting better all the time, and although I think she is capable of getting there, I dont think she is quite at the same level of Lisa Howarth yet. That is not to say that she might not beat her in a fight, but its a bit like comparing Mike Tyson with Mohammed Ali (both of them are a bit better looking though).

Lisa Houghton-Smith is taking a break now - our baby is due in January so that should keep us busy for a while! Lisa Houghton-Smith is also at a different stage in her career to Illonka. She has been fighting for over 10 years and I think she needed a break anyway. She has fought all the big names and usually in their own back yard giving weight away. Her and Illonka fought twice - once Illonka won and once Lisa won. I'm sure Lisa will be back after the baby is born - watch this space!
