WBC minimumweight champion Yokasta Valle will face Peru’s Rocío Gaspar. Their ten-round bout will headline a card on July 18th at the Cámara de Ganaderos de Liberia in Guanacaste, Costa Rica. Valle, with a record of 33-3 and 10 KOs, previously fought at this venue in November, where she defeated Ramandeep Kaur by second-round knockout. Her most recent fight was at flyweight, where she outpointed Marlen Esparza in Mexico. Gaspar, with a record of 12-2 and 3 KOs, has some international experience. She lost in a title bid against the then-undefeated Tina Rupprecht in Heilbronn, Germany.

 

Valle’s first defense will be under her company, Yoka Sport & Boxing Promotions, which she runs with her manager, Mario Vega.
