A major upset unfolded last night in Puerto Rico as Canadian fighter Taylor Kelly captured the WBC MuayThai International Welterweight Championship with a sensational victory over reigning champion Angela Whitley.
Entering the contest as the challenger, Kelly delivered a composed and determined performance to dethrone the defending champion and secure the prestigious green and gold belt in impressive fashion. Fighting with confidence and precision throughout the bout, the Canadian showcased her skill, heart, and resilience on the international stage against a highly respected titleholder.
Angela Whitley entered the contest as the reigning WBC MuayThai International welterweight champion and was widely expected to successfully defend her crown. However, Taylor Kelly rose to the occasion in what will be remembered as one of the biggest surprises in recent WBC MuayThai competition.
The victory marks a huge milestone in Kelly’s career and represents a proud moment for Canadian MuayThai as she now joins the growing list of international athletes to capture WBC MuayThai championship honors.
