(FEB 3) WBC Female super
middleweight champion Alejandra “Tigre” Jimenez is waiting to be
cleared by VADA, vowing that she and her team are clean.
Alejandra says her first test was
negative, then a positive and then a negative. So she awaits the
result of the B test, saying it’s very important to clear her
name. She stressed sheer hard and honest work has brought her
success, that she respects the WBC and would never do anything
silly.
Her plans involve a rematch
against Franchon Crews Dezurn, who she dethroned. But then to
fight Claressa Shields for the WBC middleweight crown. Hopefully
this year.
Alejandra says it’s a fight she really wants, and is confident
she can reach the 160 pounds limit. For the battle against Crews
she breakfasted and still came in at 164 pounds, well within the
super middleweight limit. Four pounds more won`t be a difficult
slim, especially with the workouts of the gym.
She describes Claressa as a fast moving, skilled boxer, but
without: “The Mexican punch!”
