The new champion assured that she was a better fighter that night and she showed it.

She commented that no problem giving Ibeth a rematch, but this time the Mexican must understand that she is the champion and must prepare for another great war, because now that she has won the WBC Green and Gold Belt , she will not let anyone snatched it away.

Marlen, who was also an USA Olympic medalist, assured that having the WBC belt is the greatest pride for her, as she always dreamed of that title and wearing the colors.

Ibeth, who was also a guest at this conference, was blunt in saying that it hurt her a lot to lose the title; However, she said she was happy with the fans response because even when it was her first time in the United States, people recognized her dedication and that is very valuable to her.

Taking advantage of her connection with Marlén, Ibeth congratulated her on the fight they offered and also reiterated her desire for a rematch before the end of the year.

At this point Marlen was emphatic in saying that this rematch will take place and that she has no problem traveling anywhere in the world to make it happen.

Finally, the president of the WBC, Mauricio Sulaimán, congratulated both boxers, as they are great representatives of the World Boxing Council and of women’s boxing.
