With a great big smile, the new Silver Champion of the flyweight division, Jacky Calvo arrived at “Coffee Tuesday” to receive the belt that she won last Saturday against Mari Salinas in Tlalnepantla, State of Mexico.
Beside great legends of women’s boxing, Ana María Torres and Mariana Juárez, the new monarch received her belt, the one of which she has dreamed so much and that today, finally, rests in her hands.
Visibly moved, Jacky thanked her entire team, her family, and especially Mr. Antonio Rodríguez Hurtado, municipal president of Tlalnepantla, who provided all her support to make this function a reality.
She added that even on Sunday she couldn’t believe that the belt she worked so hard for was at home with her; she clarified that it was not an easy fight because Mari is a great rival; however, her excellent preparation was the key to coming out of it with victory.
Convinced that sports and education have changed her life, Jacky wants to become an example for all those girls who dream of fulfilling their dreams, and show them that there is no obstacle that can stand in their way.
Today, as the new Silver Champion, Jackie is already thinking about challenging the absolute monarch Marlén Esparza, because if she wants something, it’s to be the owner of the absolute title and become the queen of the flyweight division.
