From Hangovers to World Titles – The Viviana Ruiz Story

Viviana Ruiz went from blackout nights and homesickness to becoming the WBA Women’s Flyweight World Champion—and this yarn is nothing short of jaw-dropping. Starting boxing at 32, after leaving Colombia and giving up a career in engineering, Viviana shares her wild journey from pouring wines as a waitress to pouring sweat in the ring.In this Proper True Yarn, she opens up about falling in love with boxing, being trained by her now-partner Ben, and battling doubt, language barriers, overtraining, and burnout to chase a near-impossible dream. It’s passionate, raw, and packed with the kind of determination only a true champion carries.#propertrueyarn Hosted on Acast.
