The WBA gold champion supports the blood donation campaign of the World Boxing Association

Published

On Tuesday, May 7, in Madrid, Spain, Jennifer Miranda, the World Boxing Association (WBA) gold featherweight champion, organized a boxing activity with The Boxer Club, the Community of Madrid and Hospital Universitario La Paz for blood donation.

Although Miranda is currently in the United States, she coordinated everything remotely to make this event possible: “Individually we are robust, but together we are unstoppable. That’s why I helped collect as many boxers as possible to donate blood, because life is lovely when you understand that if God gives you success, it is because He chose you to share it with others. And I know that my role in this life is to support box. Boxing chose me and I show it to the world,” said the WBA golden champion.

The classes were intended for a group of teenage students who encouraged passers-by to donate blood and raised awareness of how vital it is.

The training was led by Javier Pardo, who showed that he was satisfied with the course of the event. “Today is a very positive day for us because we can see how boxing can be incorporated into social causes, in this case blood donation, because each donation saves the lives of three people. Therefore, encouraging sports activity, supporting this type of activities and meeting people who are so committed to their passion is something very nice.”

Sergio Pérez, director of the Boxing Club, was the liaison with the Community of Madrid in the implementation of these activities: “Our company is committed to noble causes, and blood donation is one of them. We want to encourage the public to support and contribute in this regard,” he said.

Miranda, always committed to social causes, also said that she is proud to be a part of this pioneering organization because she believes that the WBA and its president Gilberto Jesús Mendoza also employ boxing to support people achieve their goals.

The campaign was a success, and teenage people had a nice and different time, learning more about boxing and realizing the importance of solidarity and blood donation.

The 22-year-old American stopped the Argentine in the seventh round to claim four flyweight crowns (WBA, WBO, IBF and WBC) after a stunning performance at the Virgin Hotels in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Fundora patiently worked the awkward opponent and gradually found her distance to begin to impose herself and set the pace of the fight with her height and reach advantage.

Although she had to adjust to her opponent in the first few rounds, who put a lot of pressure on her and threw a series of punches, she figured it out and in the fourth round she looked comfortable and in control of the fight.

The seventh round was crucial as she landed a tough punch that sent Alaniz to the canvas. Although the South American recovered, Fundora was able to combine her strength again and take her down a second time in more dramatic fashion, so that the visiting corner decided not to continue and the victory was decided in favor of the novel champion.

Fundora currently has a record of 15 wins, no losses and 7 knockouts. On the other hand, Alaniz has a record of 15 wins, 2 losses and 6 knockouts.
