The farewell of a warrior
Alana Flores confirmed it bluntly. His next fight will be his last. It is not a decision taken lightly, but rather the closing of a chapter that, in his own words, saved his life but also took its toll.
“This will be my last fight, officially,” said the Monterrey native.
With an impeccable 4-0 record, she will enter the ring at the Mexico City Arena this Sunday to face Flor Vigna at the Supernova event. But this time it’s not just about winning. It’s about saying goodbye well.
A complicated relationship with sport
Why retire in the midst of a positive streak? The answer is raw and honest. Alana talks about emotional exhaustion, about a relationship that became toxic with something she loves deeply.
“Boxing became the only toxic relationship I have in my life… it is something that I love so much, but at the same time it hurts me a lot,” he explained to EL UNIVERSAL Deportes.
He recognizes the paradox: the same sport that was his mental refuge ended up affecting his psychological health. Hitting a bag freed everything, but the public exposure and pressure weighed more.
The rivalry with Flor Vigna adds fire to this final fight. Not only being undefeated is at stake, but also the pride of closing with a flourish. Flores wants a victory that shows that his time in the ring was always serious.
His message to Vigna is clear: > “I see it as a mere cheap excuse on his part, not to say that he is afraid.”
This is how a fighter says goodbye. Not for lack of courage, but for listening to his mind and heart after an internal battle as hard as any combat.
