I want my belt back!"
That was the message from former World Boxing Council (WBC) world female super bantamweight champion, Kenya’s Fatuma “Iron Fist” Zarika from her Dubai training base on Thursday.
Zarika beat Mexican Yamileth “Yeimi” Mercado in a split-point decision in their title bout on September 8, 2018 in Nairobi, but lost the rematch on November 16 last year in Chihuahua, Mexico.
Zarika, who is currently training and coaching at Round 10 Boxing Club in Dubai, said she was confident that WBC will give her another chance to challenge for the title even after her rematch against Mercado was overlooked.
WBC had ordered Mercado, who had dethrone Zarika with a unanimously 99-91, 98-92, 99-91 points decision to face Zambian Catherine Phiri in a mandatory defence within 90 days.
