Biography

Rosa Reina was trained by José Chumilla.[2] Her first professional fight was in 1999 against the Spanish champion Esther Paez.

On 5 March 2002, after knocking out Viktoria Varga, she became the European flyweight champion[3] and she defended her European title three times that year. She fought with big boxers like the American Terri Moss[4], against whom she won the vacant WIBF World Light Flyweight championship on 6 November 2003 in Madrid, or the WIBF World Flyweight champion, the German Regina Halmich.[5]

In 2005, Rosa Reina retired after being defeated in a world title fight by WIBF World Flyweight champion Regina Halmich on 10 November 2005, who won by the 12 round decision of the judges.[6][7]

Her final record was nineteen matches won, four by knockout, with one loss and no draws.[8]

Rosa Reina died on 18 December 2018 as a result of cancer.[9] She was 44.

gollark: Computers randomly malfunction to make it appear that I exist.
