While many girls are graduating from high school at the age of 18, and looking forward to college, at 18, “Diamante Cordero” was following her Dream in the sport of professional boxing.

Unlike the U.S., and many other countries, in Latin America many boxers are convinced or coerced into turning pro before the age of 18, with little to no amateur experience, hence converting these into journeymen fighters.

Dayana “Diamanté” Cordero was the “exception.” She was a “Diamond in the Rough.”

While many girls are graduating from high school at the age of 18, and looking forward to college, at 18, “Diamante Cordero” was following her Dream in the sport of professional boxing.  Unlike the United States and many other countries, in Latin America many boxers are convinced or coerced into turning pro before the age of 18 or with little to know amateur experience. Few have succeeded.  Dayana “Diamanté” Cordero was the “exception.” She was a “Diamond in the Rough.”

   

At the age of 14 years old, Cordero turned pro defeating a much seasoned fighter in Maria Andrea Miranda.  Her pro debut took place on February 27, 2010, in Discoteca Bahia, Montelibano.  Judges scored the bout 39-37, 39-36, and 38-39.

In 2010 she managed to have two more pro fights, with one on October 1st, at the  Coliseo Municipal, Puerto Colombia, where she won by a third round TKO [1:03] over Paola Esther Herrera, 118, in a scheduled four round bout; and on November 17, 2010, at the Discoteka Trucupey, in Barranquilla, Colombia.  Cordero won a second round KO over Viany Reales who was   making her pro debut in a four-rounder.
