Mariana Juarez to take a victory lap in Mexico City

This Friday, Mariana Juárez returns to the ring at the Hipódromo de las Américas Forum in Mexico City. For the 44 year-old Juarez (55-13-4), it is the beginning of the closing of a cycle as the former two-division champion announced that this will be her last year as a professional boxer. Juarez will be facing South Africa's Matsidisho ‘The Tiger’ Mokebisi (18-11-2) in the super bantamweight division .  For Matsidisho it is an honor to face one of the great icons of women’s boxing; However, her dream is to wear a world title belt, so despite the respect and admiration she has for Juarez, she will fight hard when the bell rings. Today both fighters presented the official weigh-in, with Juárez coming in at 121.9 pounds and Mokebisi at 121.2. The card is presented by Latin KO Promotions, directed by Oswaldo Küchle, in association with Cancún Boxing by Pepe Gómez and Boxing Time by Memo Rocha, and will be broadcast in Mexico through Channel 5 on Box Televisa at 10 o’clock at night.
