DURAN’S DAUGHTER TO FIGHT IN SA

BOXING Legend Roberto Duran’s daughter has signed on with Golden Gloves and will be making her professional boxing debut in South Africa in March.

She is the third daughter of a legend to turn pro, and follows in the footsteps of Mohammad Ali and George Frazier’s girls. Duran will be entering the ring as a bantamweight, so she won’t pit her skills against the other two, as they are heavyweights. Her father is dead against her pursuing a fistic career, but will himself be fighting this year. He wants to set up the record for being the only boxer to be active in the 70’s, 80’s,90’s and 2000.
