Three regional World Boxing
Federation (WBF) Championship
bouts have been confirmed to
headline shows in Mexican cities
Tijuana, Nayarit and Mexicali in
the coming weeks.
In Tijuana on November 30, at
the Big Punch Arena, undefeated
USA-based Australian Kylie
Fulmer will take on an opponent
to be confirmed for the vacant
WBF Womens Intercontinental Super
Bantamweight title, on a show
promoted by AZTK Boxing & MMA
Promotions.
36-year-old Fulmer, 5-0 (4),
turned professional in October
of last year, and so far all her
fights have taken place in
Mexico. This will be her first
crack at a title.
On December 1 at El Palenque de
la Feria Tepic in Nayarit,
Welterweights Ramon “Cholo”
Barajas (33) and Joel “Dinamita”
Juarez (39) will square off for
the vacant WBF Mexico title, in
what could be a final chance at
glory for both men.
Barajas is 11-16 (4) in his
ten-year career, while fellow
veteran Juarez brings a 32-33-2
record, having boxed
professionally since 2002. The
fight will be promoted by La
Cueva Boxing Promotions.
Finally, Sergio “Checo” Ortega
and Lizandro De los Santos
fights for the vacant WBF Mexico
Light Welterweight title on
December 7 in Mexicali, on a
card staged by 686 Boxing
Promotions.
Home-man Ortega (24), 19-2 (13),
presumably the fresher fighter,
must be considered the
favourite, but De los Santos
(27), 24-16-1 (10) has an edge
in experience. It will be
interesting to see whom of the
two can implement their
advantage best.
