Argentine boxing is set to shine once again with an exciting evening of female bouts at the Salon de los Deportes in Villa Maria, Argentina, on Saturday, September 14th. Female fighters from Argentina and Colombia will take center stage.
The main attraction of the night features Maria Ines Ferreyra of Córdoba, Argentina, who boasts an undefeated record of 9-0-1 (5 KOs). She will take on Johen Paola Gonzalez of Colombia, another unbeaten contender with a 7-0-2 (3 KOs) record, in a highly anticipated 10-round battle for the South American Lightweight title.
Ferreyra, known for her strong, aggressive fighting style, has become a force in the Argentine boxing world. Her blend of speed, power, and determination in the ring has earned her a solid reputation and fanbase. However, Gonzalez will not be an easy opponent. The Colombian fighter is known for her technical skill and resilience, making this clash a true test for both fighters. With both women unbeaten, fans can expect an explosive fight that will have major implications for the title picture in South America.
In a second women’s bout, Fatima Johanna Maidana, from Buenos Aires, steps into the ring with an unblemished record of 3-0-0 to face Dalma Cecilia Alaniz of Córdoba, who holds a record of 1-4-0. This four-round fight is an excellent opportunity for Maidana to continue her rise through the ranks, but Alaniz will be eager to turn things around and upset her opponent.
This event highlights the growing recognition of women’s boxing in Argentina, where female athletes are increasingly making their mark on the international stage. As the sport continues to develop, these fighters are showcasing their talents in venues that have traditionally been dominated by men, signaling a bright future for women in boxing.
