Araucanian competed in the 63-kilogram category and defeated Almutairi Noura of Kuwait by RSC, which allowed him to advance to the next round. Camila Camilo’s victory was added to that of Valeria Mendoza (57), who managed to win at the start of the championship.

Vasquez (70 kg) and Angie Solano (75 kg). The nine Colombian women will face more than 380 boxers from 74 countries, more than the 2022 Istanbul World Cup.

So, Camila Camilo’s win and the rest. The Colombian team at the Women’s Boxing World Cup is a great achievement for Colombian sport and an example of the great talent and dedication of Colombian athletes.
