(APR 17) On May 4, 2012, in
Kanasin, Yucatan, Mexico, Ana "Hurricane" Julaton will be
fighting a non-title 10-rounder against Yolanda "la Negra"
Segura.
In a press release that WBAN received yesterday, they wrote, "Julaton
brings not only local support in the Yucatan but literally
millions of followers back in the Philippines where she
continues to deliver exceptionally impressive TV numbers every
time out. In the middle of a multi fight deal with the GMA
network in the Philippines Julaton looks to deliver in that
category again."
A spokesperson from the network stated, “Ana Julaton is an
inspiration to countless Filipinos because of her courage both
inside and outside the ring. GMA Network believes in Anas’
stellar qualities as someone who brings pride and honor to the
Philippines.”
Julaton made reference to her
last fight, "“That was not me in the ring last time out. That
environment worked against me in more ways than one and to top
it off, I fought my opponents fight. We all learn as we go and
that will not happen again. I plan to fight to my strengths.
This is all about winning. I owe my Filipino fans around the
World that Title back and that is my mission."
Julaton's Promoter, Allan
Tremblay of Orion Sports Management said, “we have an ambitious
plan for Ana to regain the World Title and this is the first
step in that plan. Segura is no walk in the park. That girl can
punch and we have to focus completely on her for now. However,
if we are successful, we will have Ana back in the ring in late
summer, hopefully, followed by that Title fight late in 2012.
Ideally, we would like that contest to take place in the
Philippines. Ana is long overdue to make her first appearance at
home and bask in the reception that such an appearance would
provide."
