(AUG 5) The former WBC super
flyweight and current WBC International bantamweight champion
Zulina “La Loba” Muñoz (52-3-2, 30KO) has her sights set on her
next prey. Muñoz of Mexico City wants a chance to face the two
biggest names in Mexican female boxing, Mariana “Barbie” Juarez
and Jackie “Aztec Princess” Nava.
“They are two boxers who have given a lot to Mexico,” Muñoz said
of Juarez and Nava recently. “I have also an extensive resume so
I fight with either one of them or both would be huge fights in
all aspects, popularity-wise, in the ring, as well as for the
fans.”
Muñoz, a promotional free agent, is coming off a second round
knockout of Valeria Perez this past March. The fight marked her
three wins in a row in her new weight class of 118-pounds.
The WBC currently ranks the 32-year-old mother of two at #5 at
bantamweight where Mexico City’s Juarez is the current world
champion and #3 by the AMB with Nava of Tijuana, Mexico, the
champion at 118.
“I would love a fight with Nava, I respect Jackie immensely, I
think she is a great champion,” Muñoz said of the Tijuana
native. “A fight against her would be huge for everybody, not
only for us both but for the fans.”
As far as with Mariana Juarez, “La Loba” has some history
besides the back-and-forth challenges they have thrown at each
other trough out the years. At one point they were scheduled to
fight each other for the WBC super flyweight title, which Muñoz
held, but at the last minute Juarez opted for another route.
“Our fight went to purse bid because our promoters back then
couldn’t come to an agreement,” Muñoz explained. “My promoter at
the time, Canelo Promotions, won the purse bid and we had the
kick-off press conference but neither she or her team showed up.
Later that day we saw they were promoting another fight for
her.”
Zulina “La Loba” Muñoz is anxious to get the opportunity against
either one of them as soon as possible. Currently she is a
promotional free agent so there is no major obstacle to make the
fight. It is just a matter of one or both to decide to take on
the challenge Muñoz poses inside the ring.
