Brockville – Brockville’s Kristina “Killer Bee” Mabry continues her winning streak by defeating Newfoundland’s Amanda Roberts, earning the WAKO title Canadian Featherweight Kickboxing Champion by unanimous decision in a Toronto bout this past weekend.
In the first 2 rounds, both athletes squared off toe to toe, landing evenly matched strikes. Mabry scored a decisive standing eight count against Roberts in the 3rd round, securing the victory.

“Kristina has reached an elite level, and her future opponents are going to be challenging,” said Head Coach Mark Johnson. “Everyone wants to fight the Champ.”
