Ana “The Hurricane” Julaton, the Filipino featherweight from the Bay Area in Northern California who boxes as an amateur will be going up the ring on May 5th in an attempt to improve her #4 ranking. Julaton will meet the current US #1 ranked woman featherweight in a duke out at the West Wind Events Center located along University Avenue in Oakland California.
Julaton’s foe will be Ronica “Relentless” Jeffrey. Jeffrey is a very experienced fighter. She has represented the USA in several international competitions.
In order to spice up the fight, Primer Round Magazine, the promoter in cooperation with the West Wind Martial Arts Schools, will hold the fight just an hour before the Oscar de la Hoya- Floyd Mayweather PPV begins at the MGM Resort Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas. In fact, the Julaton-Jeffreys fight will serve as the main attraction at the West Wind before the De la Hoya-Mayweather “The World Awaits” fight which will be shown live via PPV on a 12 foot wide screen .
Julaton, who considers Manny Pacquiao her inspiration “hands down” is aiming to improve her ranking and her record in an attempt to attract attention in the Philippines. “One of my goals is to fight for the Philippines in the coming Asian Games and somewhere down the line, the Olympics if women’s boxing gets to be part of the Games in 2008” Julaton recently said in a TV interview aired in Los Angeles.
In her last series of fights held last March 10th during the San Francisco Championships, Julaton won and kept her title as the division champion.
Celebrated boxing trainer Freddie Roach once described Julaton as a fighter with “a fast jab, great right, excellent left hook with lots of power and solid fundamentals.”
