World Boxing Council (WBC) interim flyweight champion Kenia “Mexican Queen” Enriquez (28-1, 11 KO’s) recently agreed to an exclusive, multi-fight deal with Combate Global, the promotion announced on Tuesday.
Enriquez (1-0), who scored her first mixed martial arts (MMA) victory by turning away Hayley Valentine at Combate Female last March, will make her return to “La Jaula” against Hannah Brobyskov (0-1) on July 17 in Miami.
The 31 year-old Enriquez remains at odds with WBC chairman Mauricio Sulaiman, who has yet to award “Mexican Queen” an opportunity to challenge for the unified title despite her standing as interim champion and No. 1 ranking in the women’s flyweight division.
“We welcome Kenia Enriquez, an incredible athlete, to Combate Global, and condemn the disrespect the WBC has shown her,” said Combate Global CEO, Campbell McLaren. “We will elevate her Combate career the same way we plucked Amanda Serrano from boxing obscurity, raising her profile significantly to get Jake Paul’s attention.”
Serrano (2-0-1) scored a pair of fights for Combate Global back in 2018.
Enriquez has not seen the inside of a boxing ring since defending her interim title with a victory over Maria Salinas back in early 2024. Since then, “Mexican Queen” has remained in limbo waiting for her shot at reigning WBC flyweight champion Gabriela Fundora.
