Costa Rican boxer Yokasta Valle made history once again in the world of boxing by facing Marlen Esparza in a high-caliber bout held in Cancún, Mexico. This event marked her debut in the 112-pound weight class, a considerable challenge as she moved up two weight divisions from her usual category.

The fight was thrilling from the very beginning. Both athletes demonstrated their skill and tenacity in the ring, exchanging strategic blows that thrilled spectators. Yokasta, true to her versatile fighting style, managed to adapt to the weight difference and maintain the advantage in several key rounds. In the end, the judges’ decision was split, with scores of 97-93 (two judges in favor of Yokasta Valle) and 96-94 (one judge in favor of Marlen Esparza), securing victory for the Costa Rican.

The Costa Rican fighter now holds a record of 33 fights: 30 wins and three losses. Although the tica emerged victorious, she did not claim a world title, as this bout was her debut in the 112-pound division. To take on this challenge, Yoka had to move up two weight classes. The national boxer has competed in the 102-pound, 105-pound (her usual weight), and 108-pound divisions—and in all of them, she has held a world title.

After her win, Valle expressed her satisfaction at achieving her goal and thanked her team and supporters for their continued support. She also mentioned that this is not the end of the road; on the contrary, she is focused on returning to her original 105-pound category to defend her World Boxing Council title.
