For this it has been essential the participation of a female referee, a psychologist of the boxing federation and, of course, the boxers themselves.

She believes that much remains to be done but, at least, we are working in the right direction: "When I started there were very few girls and it was very hard to make a dent and have them in Spain and in the international arena.

Count on the girls for the competitions just like they do with the boys.I'm confident that this support will arrive at the level of competition that will allow the possibility to work better the base with the girls Spanish boxing has grown because it works well with the Boys from the bottom and that's what women lack.
