Beatriz Ferreira Aims to Go to Paris Olympics as Reigning World Champion
Brazilian boxing star Beatriz Ferreira is ready to make a big impact in the pro boxing world as she gets ready to fight for the vacant IBF Lightweight World Title. With an impressive amateur pedigree and an undefeated professional record, Ferreira's journey from Olympic success to the brink of world championship glory has captured the attention of boxing fans worldwide.
Transitioning from the amateur ranks to the professional circuit, Ferreira wasted no time in making her mark. In July 2022, she signed a lucrative long-term promotional deal with Matchroom Boxing, one of the premier boxing promoters globally. The move signaled Ferreira's commitment to pursuing her professional aspirations and cementing her legacy in the sport.
Since making her professional debut at the Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse in Cleveland, Ferreira has remained unbeaten, compiling an impressive record of 4-0 with 2 knockouts. Her rapid rise through the ranks has been characterized by dominant performances and an unwavering determination to succeed at the highest level.
Now, Ferreira finds herself on the verge of championship glory as she prepares to face Argentina's Yanina del Carmen Lescano for the vacant IBF Lightweight World Title, formerly held by Katie Taylor. Scheduled to take place at the Exhibition Centre Liverpool on Saturday, April 27, the highly anticipated bout promises to be a thrilling showcase of skill, determination, and championship ambition.
Speaking about her upcoming title fight, Ferreira expressed her excitement and determination to seize the opportunity. "I’m very excited to be fighting for a World Title in just my fifth pro fight," said Ferreira. "A few other opponents didn’t accept the challenge to fight me for the World Title. I don’t understand that attitude but Lescano was brave enough to accept, and I know she will be a tough challenge. I want to put on a great show in Liverpool next month and make sure I go to the Olympics in Paris as the reigning World Champion in both the professionals and amateurs. That would be very special. I won Silver at the last Olympics in Tokyo and I am very focused and confident that I can upgrade that medal to Gold in Paris."
Ferreira's quest for championship title serves as a testament to her talent, dedication, and ambition. With her eyes set on capturing her first world title, including a potential Gold Medal at the Paris 2024 Olympics, Ferreira is determined to make a lasting impact on the sport of boxing.
In addition to Ferreira's title bout, the event will feature an array of talented fighters, including Sunderland's rising Welterweight star Pat McCormack and Rotherham Super-Welterweight sensation Junaid Bostan. With the promise of high-stakes matchups and electrifying performances, the Exhibition Centre Liverpool is set to host a night of unforgettable boxing action.
