Two-Weight World Champion
Thorslund Returns To The Ring
Double Danish champion Dina Thorslund will put her WBO
bantamweight title on the line against highly-rated Niorkis
Carreno on Saturday April 9 in Denmark.
Probellum’s co-promotional event with TK Promotions is set
to take place at the Graakjer Arena, in Holstebro, with the
undefeated two-weight world champion Thorslund (17-0, 7
knockouts) in action for the first time since signing for
Probellum last month.
The Dane captured the WBO bantamweight title in June 2021
courtesy of an impressive victory over Mexico’s Jasseth
Noriega, before successfully defending her crown against
another Mexican Zulina Munoz in November.
Thorslund, who has also held the WBO super-bantamweight
title since 2018 having beaten Jessica Arreguín to become
champion, now aims to extend her unbeaten run against
Venezuela’s Carreno (22-2, 17 knockouts).
“I’m really pleased my next fight is now confirmed and I
can’t wait to return to the ring,” said Thorslund.
“Performing in front of a home crowd is always very special
and I’m sure the Danish fight fans will come out and get
behind me in the passionate way they always do.
“My focus is now is fully on ensuring I’m in the best
possible shape to successfully defend my titles and putting
on a memorable performance for my fans.”
“Dina is an outstanding competitor and her match up against
Niorkis Carreno will be an important test for her,” added
Richard Schaefer, President of Probellum.
“As an undefeated two-weight world champion, her opponents
always raise their performance levels to try and challenge
her dominance - but I know she will be ready.
“We were delighted to sign Dina as our first female fighter
in January and it will be a special moment for the
organization when she makes her Probellum debut. We look
forward to watching her put on a show for her home fans and
it promises to be a memorable night.”
