Costa Rican World Champion, Hanna Gabriels, will return to the ring January 26 to defend her WBA World Female Super Welterweight Title (154 lbs.) against Aussie fighter Sarah Dwyer.

Gabriels last fight was back in June 22, 2018 against Claressa Shields, even though she lost the fight by unanimous decision, she managed to retain her title since the match was in a different weight category (160 lbs.) and her belts where not on the line.

This time, the fight will take place in Costa Rica, more precisely at the Avenida Escazú shopping center in Escazú, San José.

Dwyer, who holds a record of 3 wins, 4, losses and 2 draws is coming off a draw for the Australian Championship against undefeated Tayla Harris in November.

Gabriels recently signed with Salita Promotions, and is currently being trained by her husband and also boxer, Bryan “Tiquito” Vásquez, she is 35 years old and has a record of 18 wins, 2 losses and 1 draw.

Details on the hour of the event, the undercard and the cost of the tickets will be released in the following weeks.

Gabriels also recently announced the release of a movie next February 28 inspired on her life story under the title “Hanna Gabriels La Leyenda de un Triunfo” (Hanna Gabriels the Legend of a Triumph).
