Superstar guitarist and unstoppable force of nature, “Hurricane” NITA STRAUSS, made history once again on Friday, as she played ex-teenage bandmate, Olympic medalist and (newly anointed) WBO & IBF Super Featherweight World Boxing Champion, MIKAELA MAYER, to the ring for her ground breaking title unification win over MAIVA HAMADOUCHE on ESPN Top Rank. The twelve round war was the first ever female world title main event in the 4+ year history of the Top Rank series.

NITA and MIKAELA have been friends since they were teenagers, when they played and toured together in Los Angeles metal band, LIA-FAIL.Once the short-lived band fell apart, both women went in separate directions with MAYER turning her focus to fighting and STRAUSS doubling down and further pursuing her career as a world-renowned guitarist, performer and solo artist. With both women now operating at the very top of their respective games, the time was right to once again reunite and take to the stage together once again when NITA soundtracked MIKAELA’s walk-out for her history-making title unification win.
