But
due to circumstances outside their control,
Union Promotions have now partnered with
Promociones Paquime and moved the fight to
August 27
at the Civic
Center
in Ascension,
Chihuahua.
And the former
WBA world title-challenger (14-6-1, 3 KOs) can
also look forward to a tougher foe, as she will
now face Leticia Uribe, who despite a 6-17
record has proven game and durable against some
of the worlds best.
Karina
Fernandez lost
a close decision for the WBA World Super
Flyweight title in 2017 to Linda Laura Lecca,
and has since been working to put herself in
position for another shot at world honours.

Last time out,
this past March, she dropped a decision to
Mexican icon, and five-time world champion,
Jackie Nava, but defeating Uribe and winning the
UBO title will again put her on track.
It may be a
new date, new venue and a new opponent, but the
goal remains the same for Fernandez. And, only
30 years old, she still has ambitions to become
world champion.
The show,
including full undercard, will be broadcast live
world-wide via the Facebook pages of Union
Promotions and Promociones Paquime.
