Shannon Courtenay vs. Gemma Ruegg Prediction: Courtenay to End This One Early

Shannon Courtenay will return to the location of her career's low point when she battles Gemma Ruegg on December 10.

After 14 months of inactivity caused by the sparring accident that left her with ruptured anterior cruciate ligaments and a dislocated right knee, and then the cancellation of the bill headlined by Chris Eubank Jnr and Conor Benn on which she had been scheduled to feature, the 29-year-old is preparing for her "comeback."

Josh Warrington defeated Kiko Martinez on March 26 at Leeds' First Direct Arena, and while Courtenay was commentating, her perspective was challenged by the events occurring in front of her, and she worried she would never box again.

Gemma Louise Ruegg also known as Gemma Hewitt, is a British female boxer and business owner from Bournemouth, Dorset.

She began participating in sports on the recommendation of her family doctor after struggling with mental health issues and alcohol addiction throughout her teens. After capturing the regional welterweight championship eleven weeks after giving birth to her sixth child, she went on to become the QBL's first female boxing champion at two weight classes.

Her husband, Danny Ruegg, is her trainer, and her son, Mace, is also a professional boxer.

The bets are in favor of Shannon Courtenay. Considering her spirit and confidence to win this fight, Shannon will wreck Gemma Ruegg in this boxing bout.
