Televised
live by Canal 44, the fight will headline a
ten-bout card promoted by Union Promotions in
association with 2M Box Promotions at the
Gimnasio Josue Neri Santos.
“La
Bella” Fernandez (17-7-1, 3 KOs), the UBO
International Super Bantamweight champion, last
fought in June when she challenged for the WBA
world title against Mayerlin Rivas and was
forced to retire after three rounds due to a
broken nose.
Now the
31-year-old is moving down in weight for another
crack at world honours, and will be facing an
experienced and rugged opponent in “Muneca”
Figueroa (35).

Araceli
Palacios Figueroa brings a deceiving 11-13 (2)
record to the fight, but holds a victory over
current WBC world champion Yuliahn Luna Avila.
While her
statistics are negative, she has never been
stopped while facing the likes of world class foes
Isabel Millan, Seniesa Estrada, Marlen Esparza and
Sulem Urbina, to name a few.
Both women
are known for being in entertaining, all-action
fights, and this one is expected to be no
different.
