So I’m really happy to be building my career with them.

When asked about her dream fight, Poca said:

“Right now, it would be Amanda Serrano! She’s a fighter I really admire, because of the career she has built, everything she represents for women’s boxing, and her fighting style. She has accomplished so much in the sport, and getting the chance to face her one day would be very special to me. I know I’m still at the beginning of my professional journey and I have a long way to go, but having dreams like that is exactly what motivates me to train, improve, and keep aiming higher.”
