The three-time world boxing champion is slated for a return to COMBATE GLOBAL MMA action on Thursday, July 17; Aims to become the first fighter in history to simultaneously <\/em><\/strong>hold major world titles in boxing and MMA<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Enriquez\u2019s COMBATE GLOBAL signing comes amidst her\u00a0 <\/em><\/strong>inability to secure WBC absolute world championship fight <\/em><\/strong>despite her status as interim champion and number one contender<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

NEW YORK <\/strong>\u2013 July 1, 2025 <\/strong>\u2013 COMBATE GLOBAL today announced that it has signed World Boxing Council (WBC) Interim World Flyweight (112 pounds) Champion, Kenia \u201cMexican Queen\u201d Enriquez<\/strong> (1-0 MMA; 28-1, 11 KO\u2019s) to an exclusive, multi-fight promotional agreement.<\/p>\n

The 31-year-old Enriquez, who hails from Tijuana, B.C., Mexico is slated to return to Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) action at a COMBATE GLOBAL live television event in Miami, Fla. on Thursday, July 17, and will square off with Hannah Brobyskov<\/strong> (0-1) of Seattle, Wash.<\/p>\n

COMBATE GLOBAL\u2019s signing comes amid ongoing tension between Enriquez and WBC chairman Mauricio Sulaiman, who has yet to award the decorated champion the opportunity to challenge for the governing body\u2019s absolute world championship despite her standing as interim world champion and number one contender in the WBC women\u2019s flyweight division.<\/p>\n

Still, Enriquez aims to become the first fighter in history to simultaneously hold both a major boxing world championship and a major MMA world title.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe welcome Kenia Enriquez, an incredible athlete, to COMBATE GLOBAL, and condemn the disrespect the WBC has shown her,\u201d said COMBATE GLOBAL CEO Campbell McLaren.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe will elevate her COMBATE career the same way we plucked Amanda Serrano from boxing obscurity, raising her profile significantly to get Jake Paul\u2019s attention,\u201d McLaren continued.<\/p>\n

Enriquez officially entered the world of MMA<\/a> on March 13, debuting<\/a> against a previously undefeated Hayley \u201cBloody\u201d Valentine of England at COMBATE GLOBAL\u2019s \u2018Combate Female\u2019 all women\u2019s event in Miami.<\/p>\n

The Mexican boxing champion asserted herself from the outset of the fight, putting her punches to work and dropping Valentine twice in the first round with a straight right hand and a left hook, respectively.<\/p>\n

In the third round, though, Valentine, who holds a brown belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, finally secured a takedown, forcing Enriquez, for the first time, to defend herself on mat.<\/p>\n

Enriquez fended off multiple submission attempts by Valentine before the final bell sounded and Enriquez was awarded a unanimous decision.<\/p>\n

Enriquez became the WBC interim flyweight champion with a unanimous decision victory over Ibeth Zamora Silva on September 10, 2023.<\/p>\n

She defended the title in her last boxing bout on February 3, 2024, defeating Maria Salinas by unanimous decision.<\/p>\n

Since that victory, however, she has been in limbo, waiting over a year for a crack at reigning WBC flyweight world champion Gabriela Fundora\u2019s coveted title.<\/p>\n

In 2014, Enriquez became the World Boxing Organization (WBO) world flyweight champion, and, in 2017, Enriquez was crowned WBC interim world light flyweight (108 pounds) champion.<\/p>\n

The last time COMBATE GLOBAL successfully ushered a professional boxing champion into MMA was in 2018 when it introduced Serrano to the sport.<\/p>\n

After two COMBATE GLOBAL bouts that raised her visibility in the fight world substantially, Serrano went on to become the highest paid female boxer in history.<\/p>\n

The remainder of the COMBATE GLOBAL fight card for July 17 will be announced soon.<\/p>\n
