SAN ANTONIO, TX (July 3, 2018) - Undefeated female sensation,
Selina "Aztec Queen" Barrios (3-0, 1 KO), returns to the ring
this Saturday night, July 7, 2018, as the main event in Corpus
Christi, Texas, in the well-established American Bank Center
Water Garden Room, bringing a loaded card of fistic fury.
Barrios, who owns the NABF lightweight title, which she won in
her 3rd professional bout, will face Aida "Lady Sparta"
Satybaldinova (3-0-1) from Astana, Kazakhstan, best known as the
"Female GGG", and is the current WBF International Lightweight
Champion. Both girls are undefeated and hold titles as
lightweights. Barrios is also rated #18 in the world by the WBC
(World Boxing Council). This bout will be held over 8 rounds.
This bout is promoted by Reyna Promotions of Corpus Christi. The
promoters were looking for a first-class main event and landed a
fight that is a solid television fight. The local ABC-TV
affiliate (KSAT) in San Antonio will be in Corpus to broadcast
this fight live and stream it across the internet. Female and
male fight fans across the world that know these two pugilists
will be tuning in to watch an action-packed fight as both
warriors step forward and throw punches without grabbing and
holding or running. Barrios and Satybaldinova are both
guaranteeing a knockout.
"Selina has never been pressured in a boxing ring with a fighter
like myself," said the WBF Champ Satybaldinova. "I'm a pressure
fighter that will take two punches to throw one bomb, and I feel
I will be too strong for her. I do know I don't have to look for
Selina and have watched her fights. She stands and fights, which
is made to order for me,"
Selina shoots back stating, "I have watched Aida's videos and
her comments about coming into my area of south Texas where I'm
from, and saying she is going to knock me out, infuriates me. If
it's a war she wants, she just lit the fuse. No one is coming to
south Texas to beat the "Aztec Queen" and we will find out how
tough she is. It's war time. Let's do this."
Undefeated Super lightweight contender and brother of Selina,
Mario Barrios (21-0, 13 KOs), called his agents and promoters to
let them know he is leaving camp, to go to this fight and is
bringing a huge fan base with him. George Foreman's former camp
organizer is coming in to work the corner with Selina, and
Deborah Hawkins, the representative for the NABF Female title
fights, will be there to discuss a possible rematch for the
championship, if the fight is as competitive as she thinks it
will be.
GM3 Promotions from California, Keeppunching Entertainment from
Louisiana, and CCC Entertainment from Corpus Christi, among
other promoters are eyeing these two warriors for future shows
and will also be in the audience along with other well-known
agents, managers, and promoters. Eying this fight from long
distance is DiBella Entertainment in New York as Lou DiBella is
building a huge stable of top notch female fighters across the
globe.
Great athletes, especially boxers and in this case female
boxers, are very fascinating. It will be thrilling to watch two
undefeated female athletes compete against each other, while the
rest of the world of female fighters avoids the undefeated
stars. The difference between the greats in boxing and the
contenders are those who appear to be fearless and accept all
challenges and how they respond to adversity. The greats put in
persistent effort to excel while the contenders lose steam and
regress by fighting easier competition on regular basis. This
will be Barrios' second undefeated opponent in only her 4th
fight, and both have had very advanced amateur backgrounds.
Satybaldinova, on the other hand, is coming into unfamiliar
territory. That is what the greats do. Two potential greats
meeting head to head early in their careers with each having the
utmost confidence that they will win by KO.
Robert Hunt of GM3 Promotions: "I am glad we were able to come
to an agreement to make this fight happen because I know Aida is
going to win. Barrios is good but has never fought a fighter
like Aida. One thing I know for sure is the fans are in for a
great night of boxing and know this is a match-up that helps
keep female boxing on the forefront."
Colin Campbell of CCC Promotions: "The boxing community in south
Texas is going bonkers over this fight and plans to set a record
for attendance. It's fights like this that creates raving fight
fans."
Ernest Reyna of Reyna Promotions: "This is my 3rd show and to be
able to make this fight on this show is outstanding. Fighting as
the co-main event is former heavyweight champion of the world,
Oliver McCall. I am more excited about this show as a fan than a
promoter. I'm pumped."
Charles Campbell of CCC Promotions: "I travel the USA going to
top fights. To think this is going to be in south Texas says a
lot about the emergence of boxing here in Corpus Christi."
Kerry Daigle of Keeppunching Entertainment: "In my 45 years of
working in boxing, this may be one of the most fun matches to be
made in professional female boxing. Kazakhstan vs Mexico. You
can't ask for better athletes to compete against each other. Two
champions.... both undefeated.... going head to head.
