Julie Kitchen takes ISKA World title
Howard Hughes and Nathan Kitchen promoted a ladies World Championship card on the 6th December 2008 at St. Johns Hall in Penzance, Cornwall attracting a sell out crowd.
The main event featured Cornwall’s own Julie Kitchen challenging for the vacant ISKA World Light-welterweight title under Oriental Rules. She faced Ivanilda Vaz Te from Portugal who had called out Kitchen but sometimes you have to be careful what you wish for. Vaz Te started aggressively with a barrage of heavy punches Kitchen stood her ground happy to trade. Kitchen pulled Vaz Te into a clinch and delivered a powerful knee to the solar plexus the Portuguese girl dropped to the canvas gasping for air totally winded, her corner threw in the towel, the referee stopped the contest. A first round TKO victory for the new ISKA World Champion Julie Kitchen.
