January 17, 2024) – American Stevie Morgan, 12-1 (11), is set to fight for the vacant World Boxing Federation (WBF) Intercontinental Lightweight title on January 26 in Bogota, Colombia.
Morgan, a former UBO world champion, will face former WBA world title-challenger Paola Esther Herrera, 14-8-2 (6), from Colombia, who has accepted the assignment on short notice.
This will be Morgan´s eleventh fight in Colombia, so she will return to familiar territory as she attempts to add another belt to a collection which already includes American Boxing Federation and NBA Intercontinental titles, besides the UBO world title.
The 34-year-old from Tampa, Florida has won four straight fights since dropping a majority decision to another Colombian in Calista Silgado.
For Herrera it will be her third opportunity to win a title, after coming up short in the WBA world title-challenge and a crack at the WIBA South America title.
The fight will be part of a show promoted by T & K Boxing Promotions.
