October 15, 2004

(OCT 15) According to the Boxing Latino website, they reported that although nothing has yet been signed, Mariana Juárez has agreed to fight Wang Kim in Cantón (China) on the 31st October — hopefully for the world super-flyweight championship — and visa and travel arrangements are already being made for her to fly out a week ahead of the fight. She had been expected to fight Jazmín Rivas of Torreón this month but negotiations apparently broke down. Her manager, Ben Lira, who is based in LA, is trying to set up a fight with Jacky Nava, the Mexican super-bantamweight champion, but for the fight to be fair, he says, it would have to be at bantamweight and he wants it to be on a major card, such as Erik Morales versus Marco Barrera.
