Álvarez Takes on Ben Ephraim in Voluntary Defense
Tania Álvarez, the European Super Bantamweight Champion, will defend her title on November 30, 2024, in Castellbisbal, Spain. After a dominant victory over María Cecchi in April, Álvarez (11-1, 2 KOs) and her team decided to take on a tough challenger in a voluntary defense. She faces Odelia Ben Ephraim, a seasoned fighter looking to claim the European title for herself.
Álvarez: On a Winning Streak
Álvarez enters this bout riding a four-fight win streak. Her most significant victory came in February 2023, when she faced Skye Nicolson, the current WBC World Champion, at Madison Square Garden in New York. That win helped Álvarez become the youngest-ever European and Spanish champion at Super Bantamweight.
Her impressive run has earned her top rankings in global boxing. She currently holds the #7 spot in the WBA and #9 in the IBF, placing her among the best in the world.
Odelia Ben Ephraim: A Dangerous Opponent
Odelia Ben Ephraim (5-3) is no stranger to the Spanish boxing scene. She made a name for herself with a victory over Karla Merida in 2022. Although Ben Ephraim lost the French Featherweight title, her experience has earned her a ranking in the European Boxing Union (EBU). Now, she’s setting her sights on Álvarez’s European Super Bantamweight title.
