WBC light flyweight champion :ourdes "Little Lulu" Juárez attended this week’s WBC Tuesday Coffee to discuss her victory over Yokasta Valle. Last Saturday, Juárez defeated Valle by split decision, successfully defending her 108-pound title. Valle is still listed as the WBC 105-pound champion but here future weight class is less clear. Valle joined the conference remotely and both fighters cordially shared their thoughts on the bout. “I knew it was going to be a war in the ring. Yokasta never gives up; if anything, she rises to the challenge. This fight will leave her with a great learning experience. She is a great champion, and whichever division she decides to stay in, she will do very well. She has a bright future ahead of her,” said Juárez.

 

Valle expressed her gratitude for the opportunity to compete for the title. “It is a pleasure to be here. I was grateful for the opportunity to fight for the WBC title. I also appreciate the phone call we had after the fight. It was a great battle between two champions. Of course, I am disappointed because I do not like losing, but this is part of the challenges we face in our careers,” she said.
