Two ladies who very much have their sights on the RevPro Undisputed British Women’s Championship will square off this Sunday, as Kanji takes on Rhio.
The pair are no strangers to each other in a RevPro ring, having fought as recently as last month in Cardiff at Epic Encounter. On that occasion it was Rhio who was able to get the better of the submission specialist, but that doesn’t mean the result will be the same this time out.
It’s been a tough few months for Kanji, especially since many expected her to get the opportunity to face Mercedes Mone one more time, potentially on a scale as big as Wembley. However, not only did Mone then lose the Undisputed British Women’s Championship to Alex Windsor at the end of last year, she then also lost two more belts to Alexxis Falcon in Wolverhampton, with many speculating that was her final match for the company.
On that weekend Falcon would also win the gold from Windsor – straight after Windsor had already defeated Safire Reed in a title defence, and with inadvertent interference from Kanji. Falcon has spent plenty of time on the microphone goading Kanji, and her temper has unsurprisingly boiled over at points.
That being said, following a loss to Mone back in December Rhio is undefeated in singles matches in RevPro which is certainly a record which would put her in line for a match with Alexxis Falcon for the gold. However, Kanji will be determined to make sure her record shows she should be the one getting the opportunity.
The match will take place at the HMV Empire in Coventry this Sunday, 31st May. Doors for the event open at 3.30pm with first bell at 4pm. Tickets are priced at £32.50 for front row, £22.50 for adults and £15 for under 16’s (booking fees apply) and are available now.
