Bio
Amelia Moore is an American lightweight who has taken the long road, and there is something to be said for fighters who arrive at a world title shot the awkward way rather than the manufactured way. She is 9-2-1 with 2 knockouts and has never been protected.
She is a boxer rather than a banger. Moore works behind a busy jab, keeps her feet moving, and tries to make opponents fight at a tempo they have not planned for. Two knockouts in nine wins tells you she is not going to blow anyone away, so her route in any fight is on the cards.
Right then — nobody is picking her against Caroline Dubois, and Moore will know that better than anyone. But she is travelling to Britain to fight a unified champion in front of a partisan crowd, which is not something you do unless you genuinely fancy your chances of causing a problem.
She challenges Caroline Dubois for the unified lightweight world titles in the co-main event of MVPW-06 at bp pulse LIVE in Birmingham on August 29, on a card built entirely as UK against USA.
