(FEB 17) Former world
female flyweight champion Kenia Enriquez will hold her 2nd
Annual All-Female Amateur Boxing Invitational Tournament on the
weekend of March 26th and 27th, 2016 at the new home for Tijuana
boxing, the Perro Salado Sports Hall in the Zona Rio of Tijuana,
Baja California Norte, Mexico. Enriquez, who also held the NABF
junior flyweight title in 2014, fought over 70 times as an
amateur and won bronze at the Mexican Nationals in 2011.
“This is my way of giving back to
the Tijuana boxing community which has always given me their
support,” the twenty-two year old Enriquez stated. “The first
tournament we held last year was a huge success so we are
looking to make it even bigger this year.”
The 2nd Annual Kenia Enriquez
All-Female Invitational Tournament will open up to the rest of
the state after more than twenty young women participated last
year. With the support of the WBAN.com, the WBC and Enriquez’s
promoter Bobby D. Presents among other sponsors, the tournament
was able to bring together a number of young ladies who are
beginning in the sport they love. Enriquez hopes to continue to
give them the support and motivation they need and deserve while
serving as an inspiration of what can be achieved through hard
work and dedication.
Enriquez is looking for donations to raise the funds for the
medals, mini belts, t-shirts and certificates that will be
awarded during the tournament to all the winners and/or
participants. Thank you all for your support.
