On January 31 in Kolding, Denmark, multi-division champion Dina Thorslund will face Spain’s Almudena Álvarez for the WBC Interim Featherweight Title, following a change in the original lineup.
The shift occurred after contractual issues arose with the initial opponent, Lila Furtado. In response, Almudena Álvarez has stepped up to the challenge with determination, turning the bout into a high-intensity European clash that has sparked fresh excitement among fans.
Álvarez brings a technical style and a toughness proven in European rings. For the Spaniard, this last-minute opportunity represents a “golden ticket” to the world elite. She travels to Denmark with the goal of seizing the moment and pulling off one of the biggest upsets in women’s boxing in recent years.
For Dina Thorslund, the change of opponent tests her ability to adapt. The Dane, a former undisputed bantamweight champion, makes her return to the ring following a period of profound personal resilience. After vacating her titles due to pregnancy and later enduring the heartbreaking loss of her baby, Thorslund has decided to channel her strength into a new category: the 126-pound division.
