When Tampa, Florida-based Italian Simona Sarpa lost her professional debut to Margyguenn Vellinga in October of 2021, her boxing future didn't look amazing.

 
 

But quitters never win, and winners never quit, and now, having rebounded with five wins inside the distance, she is within touching distance of realizing her dream of becoming a world champion.

On December 16 in Medellin, Colombia, Sarpa (5-1, 5 KOs) will fight undefeated Angie Murcia (4-0, 2 KOs) for the vacant Universal Boxing Organization™ (UBO) world Flyweight title.

She has been written off, and she knows that people will continue to do so, referring to the fact that she has turned forty-five, but Sarpa believes in herself, repeating the often-used, but very true, adages:


 
 

Age is just a number! Never let anyone bring you down. Believe in yourself, and dreams will come true!”

Sarpa is trained by a man who has a proven track-record of making champions, a man she calls “the best coach”: Monyette Flowers, who is also the trainer of former UBO world Lightweight champion Stevie Morgan.

Murcia is only twenty-three, and will believe that her youth will bring her victory and world champion status after fighting Sarpa.

The two women fought on the same card last month, so they will both be familiar with what they are facing on December 16.

Sarpa vs. Mucia for the UBO world Flyweight title will be promoted by T & K Boxing Promotions, and part of a big card which will also feature a second UBO title fight to be announced.
