Last Friday night, the American Rianna Rios defeated the Spanish Mary Romero and won the World Boxing Association International bantamweight belt at the Entertainment and Sports Arena, Washington.

In a fight with a lot of exchanges, where the local had to use her technical resources to stop Romero’s pressure, the audience gave a standing ovation to the sporting commitment of both fighters.

Ríos has had an extensive career as an amateur boxer, having been national champion in the USA. Then, on 5/10/2019, she decided to make the leap to the professional ranks. And despite her career breaks, she never left the gym, keeping her dream of becoming a champion firm. 

Rianna Rios, after being consecrated with the international black and gold belt, widened her numbers to 8 wins with 1 knockout and remains undefeated, ready for her next challenges.
