Josh Canty, Jeannine Garside’s (7-0-1, 3 KO) trainer, is preparing the WIBA featherweight champ for her June 13 IFBA title clash with Chevelle Hallback, (26-5-2, 11 KO). Canty acknowledges Hallback is a fast starter, noting the first round between Hallback and Melissa Hernandez, when Hernandez was staggered early and hung on to fight Hallback to an entertaining draw..
“Jeannine will have to weather the storm but she brings amateur skills, and great speed to combat Chevelle,” Canty said. “While Chevelle will get her shots in, Jeannine isn’t going anywhere. She will look to use her speed, counter punch and make her miss.”
“Jeannine Garside is NOT looking to suffer her first loss against Chevelle Hallback. Jeannine is ready to battle anything Chevelle puts in front of her. Jeannine is going to put on a show that proves she is among the elite in women’s boxing. Chevelle has great heart, but I’ve never seen anything like Jeannine’s heart and desire to win and be the best. I hope Chevelle at least brings the game she brought against Hernandez because this fight has the potential to be the fight of both their lives.”
