Ana Julaton: The Filipina Boxing Champ

It is not everyday that we see a good boxer much more, a three-time world boxing champion, and she’s a woman and a Filipina!

Proudly, the current WBO Super Bantamweight Champion, Ana Julaton is a Filipina. It is amazing to see a true woman in the boxing ring unleashing hard punches against formidable opponents, like Maria Elena Villalobos of Mexico. She has given another reason for Filipinos around the world to be proud of their flag, country and race.

In her fight against Lisa Brown in March of this year, she showed great heart as a fighter. She was bleeding but she never turned back. She lost the fight but her “never say die” attitude in that fight won the admiration of many and nobody doubted that she would bounce back from that defeat. True enough, she did by a split decision victory at “Rumble at the Rama XII” at the Casino Rama in Rama, Ontario, Canada last June 30, 2010.

However, behind her sturdy posture and vicious combination of punches, this 30-year old, single, boxer embodies a true Filipina beauty.
