Tania Álvarez (10-1, 2 KO’s) admitted that he was facing “a unique opportunity” to win on Saturday European super bantamweight champion, by playing “at home” the title fight against the Italian Maria Cecchi (10-2, 2 KO’s).
“I’m thrilled And I’m really looking forward to the big day. We have achieved something incredible, which is bring it here (to the Cultural Center of Castellbisbal). And I would really like people to value it and be encouraged to come because it is an opportunity. only“he declared.
Accompanied by the General Secretary of Sports of the Generalitat, Anna Caulaand the president of the Catalan Boxing Federation, Juan Antoni Powerful, Álvarez gave a press conference at the CAR in Sant Cugat. The Catalan boxer insisted on the importance of fighting in Castellbisbal15 km from her native Sant Esteve de Sesrovires and where five months ago she was proclaimed champion of Spain in front of Natalia Francesca.
“It is very important because I will have my family and my friends watching me and encouraging me. It is a setting in which I have always been and I feel welcomed, comfortable and at home,” she highlighted.
At 22 years old, Tania Álvarez has only one defeat, the one she suffered in February in the Madison Square Garden in New York against the Australian Skye Nicolsonone of the best boxers today.
“I arrived with a lot of conviction and motivation, but it was very frustrating see, as the fight progressed, that she had much more experience that I. Seeing that I didn’t have that level, but that I wanted to get there is what motivates me.”
That fight against Nicolson can serve as a reference this Saturday against Cecchi, who is also left-handed. “That’s the most difficult for me and what we have worked up further. And also, like the Madison match, we think she will throw punches and back away, canceling me in the short distance, that is what I like. We have worked to polish all those deficiencies so that, no matter what she does, I am able to be quiet and know at all times what I have to do.
