	Why is Sumya Anani so feared?
		In 1998 and only in her second year as a professional Anani stepped in with “The Coal Miner’s Daughter” and hands down defeated Martin, who was in her prime, so why didn’t Rijker call her out then when she was screaming that she was the best P4P lady fighter, simple, Rijker is scared of Anani.

	Why Not the Best....A Conversation with Sumya Anani
		Sumya Anani is the fighter about whom Teddy Atlas said, after watching her leave a very tough Jane Couch slumped on the ropes in the fourth round of their June ' 02 bout on ESPN, "Anani not only knows what she's doing in the ring, she knows exactly how to do it".
		Anani has none of those advantages; she has only a prodigious boxing talent that has taken her from small clubs in Missouri to major fight venues in Detroit, New York and St. Louis.
		As a result, when Anani states that, "Its all about responsibility, the promoters to the fighters, the fighters to the fans, the media to the fighters and the fans", you get the sense she can hardly wait to get back into the ring.
