CHICAGO - Could it be? Female boxer Rita "La Guera" Figueroa may be fighting for the World Boxing Council's NABF Welterweight title this coming March, according to the official WBC web site.
Her promoter, Dominic Pesoli, said, “Nothing's been made official with us, yet. We’re definitely interested, of course!”
"Dominic and I have been approached with several great opportunities in early 2008," Figueroa wrote via email. "Hopefully, if all works out, we can bring some belts home."
Rita Figueroa has a record of 10-0 with three knockouts and won the WIBA Americas Lightweight Title with a victory over Eva Lidia Silva at the Aragon Ballroom in Chicago on May 12, 2006.
