The coach of Cuban origin Ernesto Aroche will lead the Spanish expedition that leaves this Friday for Istanbul, and that is made up of Mamen Madueño, Marta López, Jennifer Fernández, María González and Laura Fuertes.
The role of the Spanish boxers is not at all simple, as explained to MB Carlos Utrilla of the Spanish Boxing Federation (FEB), since they are measured against rivals with much more experience. “The girls have trained well and have had a preparation tournament. They are excited. There is only one of them who has had World Cup experience, in New Delhi 2018. The other four is their first date of this magnitude. Very excited. The reality is that all of them are around 50 fights in their career and the rivals are going to 100, 140, 180 or 200. We are also all aware that it is a group with which they are working, that they are in the middle phase of work and that with them what we want is to accumulate experience so that in two or three years they can hatch”.
