Zambian Catherine Phiri has arrived in Mexico City ready to take on Mexican Mariana “Barby” Juarez to defend her WBC bantamweight title, in the Zócalo of Mexico City.
Phiri, accompanied by her team, expressed calm confidence in her clash versus Juarez, believing on her sheer power: “I did not come to Mexico to lose, the Mexicans are excellent fighters but I already beat one at home, and I have the chance of defeating another. It won`t last ten rounds!”
The historic main event at the Mexico City Zocalo stars Phiri defending her crown against “Barby.” In addition there`s Eduardo “Rocky” Hernández looking for the World Youth Championship in the super featherweight division against Argentine Hugo “Dinamita” Santillán.
This event is possible due to the commitment and support of Mexico City Mayor Dr. Miguel Angel Mancera.
