DECEMBER 2 / BY UBO PRESS OFFICER

McCoy (10-1, 3 KOs) will move up a division to face Colombian Monica Henao (5-2-5, 4 KOs) for the vacant UBO World Super Lightweight title.

If victorious, the 21-year-old from Las Vegas will be the first boxer ever to hold UBO world titles in two weight classes at the same time.

“The Black Rose” won UBO Lightweight world honours in her most recent outing, when she stopped another Colombian, Paulina Cardona, on September 24, also in Coquimatlan.

In Monica “Intocable” Henao (34) she will face a tough and skilled opponent, who is entering her first world championship opportunity full of determination, and a plan to spoil the party for the American.

Henao, fighting out of Panama City, Panama, only managed to win one of her first five pro bouts, going 1-1-3 between 2016 and 2018.

Since then she has lost just once, a majority decision to former WBA world champion Chanttall Martinez, and is coming off a first round stoppage victory over then undefeated prospect Paula Buelvas last October.

McCoy vs. Henao for the UBO Female World Super Lightweight title will headline a show promoted by Rios Promotion.
