Joburg South’s rising boxing star wins by points decision
Kibler Parks Bernice Ferreira continues to reign supreme in the ring and she is working tirelessly at securing a title.
Fighting in the lightweight division, Bernice Ferreira enjoyed her second professional boxing bout on April 27 in Ottery in Cape Town, where she went the distance with Samantha Snedden.
The boxing tournament, which saw her win by a unanimous points decision, was hosted by Jacky Brice Promotions.
Ferreira went head-to-head with Snedden in a non-title four-round bout where she claimed her win, making her team and manager proud.
The 31-year-old, who has forever been a sporty person as long as she can remember, is out to make a name for herself.
In an exclusive interview, she said she had put in lots of work in preparing for her recent bout.
There was quite a lot of hype around this fight and I was a little nervous to be honest. But I prepared for this fight for about three to four weeks it was a long camp. And I just followed the game plan that my manager, coaches and I worked on and it worked. Im super grateful to them, Ferreira said.
Ferreira said she will soon be back in the ring for her next fight and that she cannot wait to get back in the gym to prepare.
Weve got great plans in the books and Im super excited. My manager said my next fight is around the end of May. I would like to send a shout-out to my amazing fiancé for being my biggest fan and always making sure I look after my body. Also, to my manager for working so hard and making sure I stay very active in the ring, she said.
She also extended her appreciation to her sponsors Mobifit, Navigator Trading, Hair@meyersdal and Vanessa for their steadfast support.
I would also like to thank my coaches and teammates who keep me sharp and ready. Special thanks to my friends and family, everyone who knows and supports me on this journey. Lastly, to God for blessing me the way he has. Without all of these people none of this would be possible, she explained.
