The Spanish Jennifer “Tormenta” Miranda (9-0, 1KO) feels that she is in the best moment of her career to face the Argentine Iara Altamirano (9-0-1) for the interim featherweight title this January 7 in the emblematic Callao Cinema in Madrid. .
“I’m better than ever and that’s not just saying it, I’ve been training for almost a year. That’s very difficult to do, I was working, because in Spain you can’t make a living from boxing. Then with my participation in La Casa de Papel many doors opened for me and I got sponsors, now I can dedicate 100% of my time to boxing,” said Miranda, current WBA-Intercontinental 126 pounds. champion.
Miranda and Altamirano share a similar record in professional boxing. However, the 37-year-old boxer from Cadiz has been Spanish amateur boxing champion 9 times and has faced boxers like Katie Taylor. While the 26-year-old boxer from Buenos Aires has spent her entire career in rented boxing.
“I don’t look at age, my reference is Katie Taylor and she has an impressive physique and there is no other 20-year-old girl who has that physique. So it depends on how you think about it and who you look at. “I always look at people who do different, surprising, difficult things and I think I can do those things,” Jennifer said.
“Storm” Miranda closed out 2023 with a fight in November, when she defeated Gabriella Mezei on points. A fight that served as preparation for her next fight, since she had not fought for a year. However, last year was productive for her, as she toured the United States, where she met coaches such as Freddie Roach, Manny Robles and Kay Karoma. She hopes that everything she learned will be reflected in the ring this January 7.
