FEMALE BOXER ACCUSED OF MURDERING HER TRAINER
A big shocker in 2005 was when WBAN learned that a female boxer was arrested for murder. According to reports in the Paraguayan press on January 4, 2005, Severino Riveros, former Paraguayan amateur champion, active as both a promoter and trainer in Sao Paulo where he has lived for the last 15 years, had been shot dead allegedly by one of his pupils, 23-year-old Miura Davila Ferreira, with whom he was romantically linked.
Ferreira, of Brazil, 6-3-0, boxed from May 10, 2005 to September 11, 2009. She fought Marcela Acuna twice, in her pro debut and the last fight that she fought as a pro.
