Joana Chavarria won the WBA featherweight world title with a unanimous decision victory over Caroline Veyre last Saturday night in Mexico City.

The player from this spot had a great evening and scored 98-91, 96-93 and 96-94, which earned her the regional championship in the pioneering organization and a breakthrough in her career.

Aggression was key for the Mexican in the ring, as she was able to nullify her Canadian opponent’s boxing and overwhelm her, preventing her from developing her tools. She added rounds throughout the fight and eventually managed to build an advantage that gave her this substantial decision victory.

Chavarria won her seventh professional fight, while she has 5 losses, 1 draw and 2 no-fights. Veyre lost her undefeated record and now has 7 wins and 1 loss.

Spanish boxer Jennifer Miranda (11-0, 1KO) will return to the ring on October 20 to fight for the interim WBA featherweight world title against Panamanian Teresa Almengor (9-1 -3, 4KO) at the Teatro Las Vegas in Madrid, Spain.

“For me, it’s a dream come true to step into the ring for such an essential title because I feel closer to my large goal, which I’ve been preparing for my entire career,” said the current WBA Gold world champion from Las Vegas, United States, where she traveled in mid-August to prepare for this fight.

Almegor is training in Panama and is cheerful with the opportunity that is given to her, so she is ready to give it her all in the ring.

The event, organised by Spanish promoter The Boxer Club, will be called Road To The World and will feature amateur boxers, which is part of the systematic development of boxing promoted by the WBA.

Both Miranda and his team are expecting a great reception from the audience on October 20.

Former Uruguayan boxer Cecila “La Reina” Comunales became the first woman to train at the Teiken Promotion gym in Tokyo, Japan. The former World Boxing Association (WBA) world champion took advantage of the trip to the land of the rising sun and on Monday, September 9, trained under the supervision of trainer Carlos Linares, brother of former world champion Jorge Linares, along with other fighters from the gym.

“It was a unique experience to train in one of the most critical places in Japanese and world boxing. It is an honor for me to be the first woman to train in this gym and I am sure that more boxers will come soon as women’s boxing grows worldwide,” Comunales said, adding: “I would also like to thank Mr. Akihiko Honda for giving me this experience and Carlos Linares for guiding my training, keeping me connected to boxing is one of the coolest things I can do in my retirement.

During her trip to the Japanese capital, Comunales took the opportunity to attend the Naoya Inoue fight, as well as other boxing nights and visits with the commission. Part of her intentions on the trip is to learn the country’s training method, to apply it to her daily life and, why not, to start a coaching career, using her experience in the ring that led her to become WBA world champion.
