The bout will take place at the Luna Park stadium in Buenos Aires. Nava will be traveling to the south American country on April 25th.
“I know that apart from her conditioning, Acuña will have everything else to her favor, its her country, with her fans that support her but we are going in sure about winning,” Nava, 28, stated.
Nava is considered one of the best female fighters in the world and her challenge of Acuña has been awaited for quite some time. Nava has taken the opportunity to dedicate the bout to a very special person.
“I am going to dedicate the fight to my father who I loved very much and has been watching over me. I also would like to dedicate it to Mexico,” Nava who has been two times WBC super bantamweight champion stated.

“It’s normal for the home team to try to gain any advantage they can but I am not worried about going to Acuña’s house,” Nava concluded.
