Sulem Urbina-Soto, an amateur
female boxer will compete in the Mexican National Amateur Boxing
Tournament in Mexico City later
this month.
Born in Hermosillo , Mexico and now a resident of Phoenix , Urbina-Soto begins the long road to compete in
the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio .
She will be representing Mexico in her quest for the
gold. As a legal resident of the United
States , Urbina-Soto has a passion for boxing and her
native Mexico ,
she has been boxing for over 5 years. She has over 40 wins and has to travel
great distances to compete due to the lack of competition in her area, a
problem many female amateurs face.
At 22-years-old, Urbina-Soto trains every day out of the
Knockout Boxing Club in Phoenix ,
a gym that she owns with her husband and trainer, Andrews Soto.
Urbino-Soto is a crafty boxer who is patient and has great
skill in the ring. She recently won a championship belt at the Gene Lewis
Invitational Boxing Tournament, a premier tournament held annually in Mesa , Arizona
