Dina Vs Almudena for the WBC Interim Featherweight Title

The international fight card set for January 31 in Kolding has taken an unexpected turn, as Spain’s Almudena Álvarez has stepped in to face multi-division champion Dina Thorslund for the WBC Interim Featherweight title, following the withdrawal of the originally scheduled opponent.

The change comes after contractual disagreements arose with the initial challenger, Lila Furtado. In light of this, Almudena Álvarez accepted the challenge with determination, transforming the bout into a high-intensity European clash that has sparked fresh excitement among fans.

The addition of Almudena Álvarez to the card brings a technical style and proven combativeness forged in the European rings. For the Spaniard, this last-minute change represents a “golden ticket” and opportunity to reach and grasp the global elite. Álvarez travels to Denmark with the goal of seizing the moment and delivering one of the biggest upsets in women’s boxing in recent years.

For Dina Thorslund, the change in opponent serves as an additional test of her adaptability. The Dane, formerly the undisputed bantamweight champion, makes her highly anticipated return to the ring following a period of profound personal resilience. After relinquishing her titles due to pregnancy and subsequently facing the heartbreaking loss of her baby, Thorslund has decided to channel her strength into a new category: the 126-pound (featherweight) division.

Despite having to adjust her strategy to face Álvarez, Thorslund’s mission remains unchanged: to conquer a new Green and Gold belt to honor her legacy and her personal journey.

The winner of this duel between the Spaniard and the Dane will be crowned the WBC Interim World Champion, granting them the immediate right to seek a unification bout against the reigning WBC world champion, Tiara Brown of the United States.
