Ginny Fuchs, a participant in the 2020 U.S. Olympics, is gearing up for a significant return to the boxing ring. She is all set to challenge Adelaida Ruiz, who holds the interim WBC junior bantamweight title, in a ten-round match on August 31. Fuchs shared her enthusiasm for the upcoming fight on social media, expressing gratitude towards Matchroom Boxing for making the bout possible.
Ruiz, the current interim WBC titleholder, is preparing to defend her title after almost a two-year hiatus. The fight is scheduled to be a part of the DAZN undercard featuring Diego Pacheco and Maciej Sulecki at the Dignity Health Sports Center in Carson, California.
Both fighters have recently tasted victory, with Ruiz securing a win against Catherine Tacone Ramos through a unanimous decision and Fuchs staying in form by participating in the Team Combat League. Fuchs, known for her advocacy in mental health and her struggle with OCD, is eager to make a strong statement in her first professional fight in over a year.
This upcoming match holds significance not only for the fighters involved but also for Fuchs, as she is the first member of the 2020 U.S. Olympic boxing team to contend for a major title. The audience is in for an exciting faceoff between these talented athletes. Stay tuned for what promises to be a thrilling showdown.
