From Dreams to Triumph
Kenia Stephanie Enriquez Rosas has quickly earned a prominent place in boxing and MMA. She is known for her tireless spirit. Today she is the WBC interim women’s flyweight world champion and an unstoppable force in the ring. However, her road has not always been easy.
At 31 years old, Kenia, originally from Tijuana, B.C., Mexico, is ready to enter the COMBATE GLOBAL cage. This Thursday, March 13, she will participate in the “Combate Female” live event in Miami. She will face Hayley “Bloody” Valentine (5-1) from London, England, in a strawweight (52 kg) fight. It will be her first MMA victory.
One Star in Two Disciplines
Enriquez was not satisfied with being a champion in boxing alone. In 2014, she made history by becoming Mexico’s first WBO women’s flyweight world champion. Then, she decided to take on a bigger challenge: balancing her boxing career with her growing MMA career. Kenya has proven her versatility by mastering both sports. Her courage and determination have taken her far.
In 2023, Kenya won the WBC interim women’s flyweight title. She defeated Ibeth Zamora Silva by unanimous decision. This victory cemented her place among the best athletes in her category.
The Power of Family and Sport
For Kenya, the sport was more than a race. It was a way to unite and transform her family. With each victory, her family’s support grew stronger. The family bond grew because of the sport.
Enriquez’s story shows that sport goes beyond the ring. It unites, strengthens and changes lives. In this episode, Kenia talks about her experience in a family of boxers. She also tells us about the discrimination she faced as a female athlete and her participation in events for young female athletes.
