"Salinas is a veteran and she’s crafty,” said Tellez. “She’s been in there with the best, but I’m here to prove I belong at the top. I’m not underestimating her—but I’m not backing down either."
Reina has been working hard in training camp noting, "Camp has been intense and focused. We’ve been sparring with high-level partners to replicate Salinas’ experience and style. I’m in peak shape physically and mentally."
A win would according to Tellez’s put her on the radar of the division’s elite. “My record shows that I’m not just undefeated—I’m ready for world-level opponents."
To fans watching Tellez says you can expect, "Controlled pressure, smart angles, and power shots. I’m looking to put on a complete performance—something that makes people stop and say, ‘She’s next.’"
"Reina Tellez continues to prove she’s one of the top young fighters in the bantamweight division,” said Amaury Piedra, President of Boxlab Promotions. “Taking on someone as tough and experienced as Maria Salinas is a major step, and we believe Reina is more than ready. This is the kind of fight that turns contenders into word champions—and Reina has all the tools to do just that on June 7th."
