Lupita Martínez ready to defend WBC crown against “Little Lulu”

Champion Lupita Martínez will end a year of inactivity when she defends her WBC super flyweight crown against Lourdes ‘Little Lulu’ Juarez, on December 12 at Televisa studios in Mexico City.

Lourdes (30-2, 4 KOs) is the younger sister of former WBC bantamweight and flyweight world champion Mariana ‘Barbie’ Juárez. For Lupita  it will be the sixth defense of the crown that  she seized by unanimous decision from the popular Zulina ‘Loba’ Muñoz, in a tremendous fight, on May 13, 2017 in Cancun.

Lupita, originally from Tlalnepantla, State of Mexico, shows a record of 20-9, six knockouts.

Among the fighters that she has defeated are Irma “Torbellino” García, Yuliahn “Cobrita” Luna and Yessica “Kika” Chávez.

In her most recent bout , last September in Tlalnepantla,  ‘Little Lulu’ was tested  to the maximum by beating Kandy Sandoval by decision.
