(JUNE 6) CORPUS CHRISTI, TX
(June 6, 2018) - Two of boxing's most exciting female fighters
will meet in a battle of unbeaten lightweights on Saturday July
7, 2018, when Selina "Aztec Queen" Barrios (3-0, 1 KO) and Aida
"Lady Sparta" Satybaldinova (3-0-1) square off at the American
Bank Center Water Garden Room, in Corpus Christi, TX. The
8-round main event bout will take place on the "Battle By The
Bay 3" card, promoted by Reyna Promotions.
Barrios, recognized by her people
as the female Roberto Duran, is the current NABF Lightweight
champion. Barrios fights out of San Antonio, TX, and is coming
off an impressive victory against Lisa Porter. Selina is looking
to make a statement against Satybaldinova.
"From what I heard, Aida Satybaldinova likes to bring the fight
to her opponent," said Selina Barrios, sister of undefeated
super-lightweight Mario Barrios (21-0, 13 KOs). "I love fighters
that come forward, so I know this is going to be an all out war.
With that being said, I feel my power is going to be too much
for her. I'll be looking to take her out before the final bell
rings. Everyone watching this fight is going to see non-stop
action from both sides."
Satybaldinova, known as the female Triple GGG, is the current
WBF International Lightweight champion. Satybaldinova, who
originally hails from Astana, Kazakhstan, now lives in the
United States where she trains out of Hollywood, CA.
"Selina Barrios has never been in the ring with a fighter like
myself," stated Aida Satybaldinova, who is managed by GM3
Promotions. "I'm true pressure fighter with power in both hands.
I have confidence that I will keep my record undefeated. I'm
proud fighter who fights from Kazakhstan and I like Mexican
style fighter. They stand and fight, not run."
A rematch clause has been negotiated between both fighter's
camps as both of their respective titles will not be on the line
in this bout. If the rematch does indeed happen, both titles
will be up for grabs.
"This is going to be a crowd-pleasing fight for the fans," said
Kerry Daigle, Barrios' advisor. "I know Aida is one hell of a
fighter who is going to leave everything in the ring. Selina on
the other hand is on another level. Barrios is the future of
female boxing and I see her coming out victorious."
"I glad we were able to come to an agreement to make this fight
happen because I know Aida is going to win," Rodney Hunt of GM3
Promotions, said. "Barrios is good, but she's never seen a
fighter like Aida. She is strong, proud, and determined. One
thing I know for sure, the fans are in for a great night of
boxing. It's great match-ups like this that helps keep female
boxing on the forefront."
