BOURNEMOUTH-based professional boxer Denise Castle looks to add the WBC World Silver Belt Title to her current WIBA World Title Belt.
Matched at 102lbs in the atomweight division Denise, will be facing Filipino WBC International Champion Norj Guro who, with 11 wins to her record, is expected to be a tough challenge.
Denise, who works at Bournemouth Girls Grammar and Bournemouth University, is currently ninth in the WBC world Rankings with Norj Guro at 11th.

Guro is a fiery southpaw fighter with stamina and at little more than five foot will look to stay inside Denise's reach.
Denise said: “I have been training and sparring with partners the same height as Norj so I plan to use my reach, and in previous fights when opponents do attempt to push the pace it just brings out the best in me so I relish this challenge.”
Training out of the Champions Boxing centre Denise has a famed hard hitting style and intends to make a statement when she faces Guro in Dubai after a couple of years out of the ring due to Covid restrictions.
Denise said: “Female boxing has moved on so far since I first started – I really enjoy passing on my skills and inspiring the next generation which I get to do alongside my work.”
