Austrian lady fights for K-1 World title in Argentina!

 

The official poster from WKF ARGENTINA has arrived!

 

Austrian World Champion Alexandra “GODZILLA” PETRE will step into the ring against the absolute No. 1 in Latin America and world champion Sabrina FLORES on November 25th in Argentina’s capital Buenos Aires.

Since there are hardly any opponents in Europe – neither in K-1 nor in boxing – a long journey of around 22 hours has to be accepted.

If anyone has an opponent, Petre look forward to receiving a serious offer! 🙂

Flores is one of only 3 girls who won against our Alexandra. Back in Cairo 2021 (!) in light contact.

But Alexandra won against Sabrina in K-1. So the direct duel is 1:1

 

The fight is a highlight of the “Pan American Championships”

comparable to our last European Championships in Trieste

or the “African Championships” in Cameroon.

Many nations from North, Central and South America are expected there.

A TOP chance for further fights in Latin America and perhaps in the USA. A promoter in Florida has already shown interest, and negotiations are continuing in Buenos Aires.

As always, the weight class is Ladies Heavyweight +66 kg, it follows K-1 rules, and the fight is scheduled for 5 rounds.
