Linda Laura Lecca will defend her World Boxing Association Super Flyweight crown against Karina Fernandez this Saturday. The fighters did not have any problems making the weight on Friday and are ready for their fight.
Both boxers hit the scales at 115 pounds in the weigh-in ceremony. The Peruvian will have the opportunity, once again, to fight in front of her people in the city of Trujillo, in her native country. She will have to face a Mexican with a good record who wants to surprise her in her own backyard.
Lecca earned the division’s Interim Championship in 2014. She made three successful defenses and was promoted to Regular Champion. Since then, she’s had one fight, which ended in a draw against the Venezuelan Carolina Alvarez and was her first defense of this belt.
Lecca has a record of 12 wins, 2 losses, 2 draws and 3 knockouts, while Fernandez has a balance of 10 wins, 2 losses, 1 draw and 3 knockouts.
