Perez Defeats Poland’s Wiktoria Rogalinska to Secure a Spot in 54-Kilogram Division
ASTANA, Kazakhstan (July 5, 2025) – Yoseline Perez continued her success at the World Boxing Cup: Astana 2025 and claimed her third win of the week, this time a 3-0 decision over Poland’s Wiktoria Rogalinska. The victory over Rogalinska vaulted Perez into the gold medal match on Sunday, July 6, inside Zhaksylyk Ushkempriov Martial Arts Palace in Astana, Kazakhstan.
Perez’s win over Rogalinska is not just about earning a shot at a gold medal at the World Boxing Cup: Astana 2025. The victory also serves as a redemption for Perez after falling to Rogalinska in the gold medal bout at the World Boxing Cup: Brazil 2025 earlier this year. While Rogalinska took the first meeting with a unanimous decision, Perez used that result as fuel for her next two international competitions.
Since suffering that defeat to Rogalinska at the World Boxing Cup: Brazil 2025, Perez won gold at the World Boxing Challenge Grand Prix Usti Nad Labem, where she claimed three wins, including two unanimous decisions and one 4-1 victory. Throughout this week’s competition, Perez has garnered unanimous decision wins in two of her three performances and will now have the opportunity to win her second gold medal of the year and her first title at a World Boxing Cup event.
Perez will now compete against India’s Sakshi Sakshi on Sunday in bout five of the opening session. There will be just one ring within each session, and Perez will enter the ropes at approximately 6 a.m. ET and compete out of the blue corner.
Morelle McCane also competed on Saturday in the women’s 65-kilogram division against Uzbekistan’s Navbakhor Khamidova. After falling behind 4-1 after the opening round, McCane picked up the pace in the second round and cut her deficit to 3-1 heading into the final three minutes. Unfortunately, McCane was unable to battle back and ultimately fell 4-1 against her Uzbekistan opponent. The Cleveland, Ohio, native closes the week with a bronze medal, marking her third international medal of the year.
