Geovana Peres March this year, however lost the bout by a very
close split decision. Now she is defender her New Zealand title

Nailini Helu debuted on the Kali Reis vs Maricela Cornejo World
title undercard back in 2016. Helu climbed the ranks quickly
reaching top 10 in the world on boxrec. However after an
unfortunate decision change due to a judge scorecard error, it
hit Nailini Helu hard mentally and a mass backlash on social
media didn't help. After that decision change to a draw she
attempted a comeback but lost to Alrie Meleisea by split
decision. The two had a rematch in March 2017 but same result
with a lose by split decision. Both times were controversial
decisions as it was believed that Nailini won both bouts.
