"I am excited and ready for 2025! It should be a great year. I am focused on my career and signing with Wise Owl Boxing is a good opportunity for me. I believe that I can fight for a world title quickly. I want to win all the titles at 147 pounds. It doesn't really matter who is in my way," said Cruz.

"Briandra has accomplished a lot in her amateur career and proudly represented her country of Mexico in the 2020 Olympics. I’m excited to be managing her now so we can showcase her to the entire world" said co-manager, Angel Lopez of Wise Owl Boxing.
