(SEPT 16)  Former WBA World Bantamweight Interim Champion and, current WBC  Silver Super Bantamweight Champion Sabrina "La Muñequita" Perez of Isidro Casanova, Buenos Aires, Argentina has kept her dreams alive alongside her longtime trainer and husband Diego Arrua as well as her coach Alcides Balbuena.

Sabrina was born in Isidro Casanova on November 14, 1986. She began boxing at the age of 16 just to lose weight. She like it so much she began boxing in amateur competitions accumulating an amateur record of 38-4-6, earning the Bonaerense Championship at 118 pounds, in March 2006, and the 126lbs Championship in November 2007.

Although Sabrina did not like nicknames, the nickname "La Muñequita" (Babydoll) was given to Sabrina by her brother during her second professional bout in which unbeknownst to Sabrina, he had a banner made with SABRINA "LA MUÑEQUITA" PEREZ on it and he and some friends went to that fight yelling "Sabrina La Muñequita Perez es La Mejor," (Sabrina Perez is the best), and it stuck.

She turned pro on December 13, 2008, winning her debut with an impressive UD over Soledad Andrea Torres, in Buenos Aires. From then on "La Muñequita" was unstoppable and, in 14 professional bouts, has accumulated a record of 13-0-1, with 2 KO's, capturing the WBA Female World Bantamweight Championship and the WBC Female a World Silver Super Bantamweight Championship.

The only blemish on her record came on May 24, 2013, in Buenos Aires, where she fought to a draw against the then WBO World Female Bantamweight Champion Carolina Duer. Many in the sport say that "La Muñequita" defeated the champ that night.

All of Sabrina Perez' fights have been in Argentina and she says that after 7 tough years in the sport that it is time she seeks an opportunity to compete abroad. She and her team consisting of Diego Arrua, Alcides Balbuena, Roberto Lopez, Gustavo Fernandez, Seguii and Eddie Montalvo began analyzing a strategic approach towards enhancing her career abroad.

Sabrina Perez said she will fight at either the Bantamweight and/or the Super Bantamweight categories. "La Muñequita" says; "The bantamweight and super bantamweight divisions are filled with a lot of talent and, I want to fight the best. I know I'm within the best women boxers in the world and I'm going to prove that fighting among the best and coming out on top makes you the best," Perez says.

"My team and I were waiting for the winner of the Alicia Ashley and Christina McMahon bout which was supposed to happen on September 15th in New York for the vacant WBC World Female Super Bantamweight Title which was vacated by Jackie Nava, and for which I am the WBC Silver Female Super Bantamweight Champion and next in line for a mandatory bout against the winner, but it was cancelled. Too bad, because a fight against a legendary champion like Alicia Ashley in America would've been epic.

"I don't have the exact date but I'm scheduled to fight Neisi Patricia Torres or Aline Escaranello for the vacant WBO Female World Bantamweight title in November in Isidro Casanova. I have faith that I'm going to win and then I would like to defend my title in the U.S., maybe against Heather Hardy or Alicia Ashley.

"I understand that Women's Boxing in the U.S. isn't as popular as when Christy Martin and Laila Ali fought but today we have more talent in various categories than they had then and that could really change things for our sport if we are given the opportunity. In my beloved Country Argentina and in Mexico Women's Boxing is on TV almost on a weekly basis. Many are good fights and few are just terrible. I'm just being honest. I am confident that my talent will be recognized by the American and International boxing audience and that they will want to see more of "La Muñequita" Perez," she said. "I want to fight away from home."

She concludes; "There are many of us that can really make good fights but we don't have the support some female fighters have and, unless we are given consistent opportunities to compete on televised boxing events where we can show our immense talent and competitiveness, our sport will continue to suffer. We still don't receive the recognition nor the purses that men receive for the same work but I have faith in my team and I know we will compete on major fight cards to fill in those slots where questionable male match ups are continually embarrassing the sport."
