Diamonds are forever for “Barby” and “The Aztec Princess”

The careers of Mariana “Barby” Juárez and Jackie “Princess Azteca” Nava, span more than two decades and a combined 115 fights.

The announcement has already been made that Mariana will defend her bantamweight title against Jackie. But a May clash is now a no. Mariana is keen that it’ll be a Diamond Belt spectacular. To do this contest full justice a packed venue of their respective fans would be preferable.

But depending on the pandemic duration, a television closed doors event might also be an option. Mariana says she still very much hoped this epic can be enjoyed in person by the fans.

She says that she will need a minimum of six weeks, preparing, with full respect to a great former champion.

Mariana’s ambition extends even further than this spectacular.  She’s determined to have her day and then call it a day, by winning the super bantamweight title.
