LIVERPOOL, England (September 13, 2025) -- Yoseline Perez continued her dominance at the 2025 World Boxing Championships in Liverpool, England, earning a unanimous decision over Italy’s Sirine Charaabi on Saturday. With this win, Perez advances to the 54-kilogram final against Chinese Taipei’s Hsiao-Wen Huang on Sunday, the last day of competition.
Perez boxed beautifully, outmaneuvering her Italian rival for a 5-0 victory. She landed jabs and straight rights as Charaabi routinely charged forward, and used her elite footwork to evade every attack, frustrating her opponent.
“It makes me feel really good,” Perez stated about her semifinal victory. “I’m glad that I’ve gotten this far, and I’ve seen the improvement throughout the years. It’s a really great feeling being able to do this. I think that I still haven’t processed it enough. I’m pretty sure after, I’ll know how to describe what it means. Right now, I’m just focused on tomorrow and being able to close this out, God willing, with a gold medal.”
Perez closed the opening round with a 4-1 advantage before capturing another 4-1 scorecard in the second round. Up 3-0 heading into the final three minutes of action, the United States’ 54-kilogram representative appeared confident and closed out the match with another 4-1 score card to secure the unanimous decision.
“This year was a really great year for me. Today, I was reading Proverbs, and one of the verses that stuck out to me was ‘I’m the horse that’s prepared for the battle, and the victory belongs to the Lord.’ So, I was just thinking to myself that I’m that horse that prepares every day, and as soon as I get in there [the ring], I do what I need to do. Then, the outcome and the victory belong to Him.”
Following Perez’s semifinal victory, Chinese Taipei’s Hsiao-Wen Huang also earned a unanimous decision in the second 54-kilogram semifinal of the day. Huang has competed in each round of the World Boxing Championships, earning unanimous decisions in all four of her bouts. A two-time Olympian in Tokyo and Paris, Huang’s extensive resumé consists of a bronze medal at the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games in the flyweight division, two world championships in 2019 and 2023, a bronze medal at the Asian Games, and two bronze medals and a silver medal at the Asian Championships.
Perez will square off against Huang in bout three on Sunday, beginning at approximately 7:30 a.m. ET inside M&S Bank Arena. The bout will be broadcast live and free by Eurovision Sport on worldboxing.org. Fans can head to the USA Boxing event page to keep up with Perez’s final bout of the 2025 World Boxing Championships.
