"Kim Clavel and her team are tremendously ambitious and confident by accepting this challenge," GYM president Yvon Michel said. "Moreno is part of the elite fighters in her division, holding WBC champion Yesenia Gomez to a draw and losing to a majority decision in a pair of 2018 clashes. After March 21, we will know where Kim rates among the brightest prospects in her division. "
