Attractive Fight Between Mexican Warriors for WBC Crown

Most Valuable Promotions will present an attractive fight between Mexican warriors at the Convention Center on South Padre Island in Texas on October 18, when the current World Boxing Council Atomweight Champion, Lourdes “Lulú” Juárez, faces Yesica Nery Plata.

Their title fight, scheduled for ten rounds, will headline the Most Valuable Prospect 16 card, which will be broadcast on http://Dazn.com/wbc.

The bout will mark the MVP debut of Nery Plata, a native of Mexico City (30-2, 3 KOs), who became the first Mexican woman signed by the company earlier this summer. It also marks her triumphant return after an almost two-year absence from the ring that resulted in the end of her 108-pound reign following a brilliant 2023 campaign.

Juárez, with a record of 38-4 with 5 knockouts, became a two-division champion after conquering the vacant WBC 108-pound title with a ten-round unanimous decision victory over Yesenia Gómez last November 29. Her only defense was a ninth-round knockout over Mirna Sánchez last March 7.

This fight will mark the US debut of the 38-year-old Juárez, also from Mexico City, who is the sister of the legendary Mariana Juárez, a former two-division champion.
