Yokasta Valle and Elizabeth Lopez fighting for vacant WBC title

Former world champion Yokasta Valle from Costa Rica will return to the ring to face Mexican Elizabeth Lopez for the vacant WBC strawweight title this Friday, November 1, at the Liberia Chamber of Cattle Ranchers, Guanacaste, Costa Rica.

With a record of 31-3, with 10 knockouts, Yokasta will face Mexican Lopez in an event that will mark the path that Valle will have to follow if she intends to establish herself as the best in her division.

Lopez Corzo is a Mexican boxer from Chiapas, Mexico. Better known as “La Veneno,” Lopez has a record of 11 wins, 6 losses and 5 draws in the ring. The 31-year-old Mexican is 1.45 meters tall and weighs 56 kilos.

On this same card, Yokasta’s sister, Naomy Valle, will also be in action when she faces Venezuelan Erika Bolivar. The fight is presented by Sport Boxing Promotions, in association with Golden Boy Promotions, and will be broadcast on ESPN KO.

This Thursday both fighters passed the official weigh-in. Valle registered 104.7 pounds, while Lopez was 106 pounds.

*The WBC allows a pound of tolerance at the official weigh in, considerating the effects of the menstrual cycle.
