After a year-long hiatus, the unbeaten Winnie Verano (12-0, 8 KOs) is set to revive her boxing career, and she's more determined than ever!
As a single mother, Verano relies on boxing as her primary source of income, and she's eager to get back in the ring and provide for her family.
The Philippine Women's Desk has expressed full support for the 31-year-old Pinay, recognizing the importance of women's welfare in sports.
In a heartwarming gesture, Brico Santig and Garry Connolly have offered Verano a warm-up fight to help her prepare for a possible world title bout!
Verano's journey hasn't been easy, with financial struggles making it challenging for her to support her family. But with this opportunity, she's ready to turn her career around!
Philboxing, The Filipino Boxing Portal, wishes Wenie Verano and all women boxers in the Philippines blessings and success always. Their hard work, dedication, and perseverance are truly inspiring!
Kudos to Brico and Garry for their support, and let's celebrate the triumph of women's boxing in the Philippines! 🇵🇭
