“I’m coming off two really good back-to-back wins, with my last fight televised live on BBC iPlayer that I’ve had tremendous feedback from and now I’m on this big event in Frankfurt,”
“It’s my first time fighting as a pro in Germany and I’m looking to break new ground with the Wildheart brand, putting on a exciting show and gaining some new fans’ along the way,”
“Activity is key for me now and I’m pleased that I will have fought three times in four weeks’ as I look to reestablish myself and press my claim for a World title.”
Wildheart’s manager Richard Maynard, CEO of Strike Sports Management, said, “Lucy is primed and ready to fight in Germany and she’s looking to put on a good show. She’s certainly been active over the last few weeks’ which is what she’s needed in her career and featuring on the Wasserman Boxing card will give her profile another boost. She wants the fight with Serrano and she will look to make a big statement in Germany.”
