Zarika and Mercado impressive workouts

World Boxing Council female super bantamweight champion Fatuma Zarika and her challenger, Mexican Yamileth Mercado, showed their talent, with lively workouts.

Kenyan Fatuma Zarika (32-12-2, 17 ko’s) will make the third defense of her WBC 122-pound world title, this time against “Yeimi” Mercado (14-2-0, 4 ko’s) this Saturday, at the Poliforo from Ciudad Cuauhtémoc, Chihuahua, in a historic co-promotion of Zanfer and 2M Promotions that will be televised by Azteca 7 for all of Mexico.

Both warriors offered a public training in the Main Square of Ciudad Cuauhtémoc, which was enjoyed by a throng of fans.

Yamileth Mercado will seek to become the first woman born in Chihuahua, to become a world boxing champion.

To do this, she will have to defeat a very solid world champion, who has won her last eight fights since 2015.

In Wednesday’s public practice, Zarika exhibited great physical condition and power.

For her part, Yamileth showed speed and strategy, plus very technical and intelligent ring skills.
