On Friday evening, the World Boxing Association (WBA) honored women’s boxing legend and pioneer Christy Martin. The president of the organization, Gilberto Jesus Mendoza, awarded the American the title of lifetime champion for her contribution to sport and paving the path for women’s development in and outside the ring.

During a special ceremony organized during the WBA convention in Orlando, attended by Amanda Serrano, one of the best fighters of all time and a contemporary figure, the head of the pioneering organization thanked Martin for her wonderful career and awarded her the WBA title belt, which decorated her with the champion of life.

Additionally, he also named Serrano a WBA ambassador and recognized Jake Paul as the most influential promoter today for his work with world boxing prospects and fighter development in the United States.

The WBA congratulates Christy Martin, one of the pioneers of women’s boxing, and thanks her for being an example to all the fighters who have come through over the years.

Nataly Delgado will defend her World Boxing Association (WBA) super flyweight belt against Rini Khoudari on Friday night at the Coliseo de Combates Pandeportes in Panama.

The local fighter will defend her regional belt against the Colombian in one of the fights of the event organized by All Star Boxing in the Central American country.

Delgado won her title against Bethy Franco on July 27 at the Arena de Colon in front of her fans, and now she will have the opportunity to defend herself against a South American opponent for the first time.

Khoudari is from Bogota and gained professional experience until he found this great opportunity. This will be her second international experience after fighting in Mexico in 2023 and drawing with Maria Atilano in a six-round fight.

Delgado has 15 wins, 7 losses and 2 draws, including 5 by knockout. Khoudari, on the other hand, has 6 wins, no losses, 1 draw and 3 knockouts.

Lauren Price will defend her World Boxing Association (WBA) welterweight title on December 14 against Bexcy Mateus at the Exhibition Center in Liverpool, UK.

On Wednesday, the promoter made the official announcement of this fight, an evening during which several crucial fights will take place and several characters will be in the ring.

Price will make the first defense of her crown, which she won on May 11 last year, defeating Jessica McCaskill in the ninth round by technical decision. The fight had to be stopped due to her opponent being cut after an accidental headbutt and the Briton was on top by the end of the fight.

Mateus is Colombian and 29 years aged. She is undefeated and has a huge chance for a career that will not be basic, but she intends to take advantage of it. The fighter from Bogota will fight for the first time outside the country, which means a massive challenge, but she is supported by her striking power and aggressive style.

Price arrives with a record of 7 wins, no losses and 1 knockout, while Mateus has 7 wins, no losses and 6 knockouts.
