Victory over Chapman could put artingstall on the way to the eventual shot at the Skye Nicolson World Champion WBC, which will be Pundit for Sky Sports On Friday night, broadcasting.
Chapman lost to Nicolson in his last fight and in Friday he will seek revenge on the victory over Artringstall, who defeated her in the English boxer elite championship as an amateur.
“I think that was a difficult question [for Chapman] to beat Skye Nicolson, “Armingstall said Sky Sports.
“Nicolson is good at what she does and if you can’t turn off it, she’ll be comfortable. If you can’t close what she does, then it’s hard to beat her. I’ll be happy to say it openly.”
But Artringstall added, “She ran away.”
Armingstall knows that better than most. She herself eliminated Nicolson from the Olympic Games in Tokyo to secure her bronze medal. “Exactly,” Artringstall said. “It’s feasible and I did it before. There will be people who can do it.”
This is the struggle that artingstall is determined to make money. “I have to deserve it. I have to put myself where I deserve it,” she said.
“I have to invent a lot this year. Last year it was a write -off and I want to get back to the mix as soon as possible.
“2025. For me, there will be a better year, 100 percent, and I will knock on the door for world titles.”
Walking through the fight with Chapman is a vital step according to this. “I know what I’m capable of and I know I didn’t deliver him. This fight with a good fighter could bring something out of me we didn’t see,” Armingstall said.
“I believe I beat Skye Nicolson. [Against Chapman] I believe I win in this fight and that’s all that matters to me. I don’t care how … I don’t care if I win her better than what Skye beat her.
“As long as I beat Raven Chapman, that’s all that matters to me.”
And Chapman enjoys a Friday competition with his old rival. “I’m excited to go there and bounce and show what I’m all about,” she said Sky Sports.
“The best version of me unfortunately did not appear in the night [against Nicolson]. There were things we definitely learned as the team that we would make sure we never happen again.
“I’m made for nights like this and I want to continue to be in big fighting.”
Although Chapman lost to Artringstall as an amateur, she is convinced that she is better professional.
“[In the amateur bout] I still performed well. But nowhere near the ability I could perform and when I turned, having my team around me, he showed it massively, “said Chapman.” I am a different fighter in what I was in amateurs.
“We have one usual opponent [Lila Furtado]Who I struggled with is Kim comfortably, “Chapman continued.
“You don’t know if she improved after a while. I’ll expect the best Karrissa on the night. I think it will be an exciting fight.
“We are both aggressive fighters, we are both strong fighters. No one will want to take a step back.
“A struggle that could steal the show.”
