“At first, we said we would fight (for the flyweight belt) with Jessica Eye. I think Eye is next. […] Lipski, coming off nine straight wins, world champion in another organization, with a lot of hype behind her… We pitted her against a cunning and audacious veteran. (Calderwood) showed what he was capable of and was incredible tonight. 'Jojo' was incredible. She had the perfect fight,” said White.
