Turlock’s Sandra Tovar won her first boxing match in Sacramento on Saturday as part of the Delhi Boxing Club. Tovar faced off against Evelyn Mojica in the 11-year-old, 75 pound girls division and finished her Caballero Boxing Club opponent in the second round via TKO.

“I was a little nervous; I wanted to put in a good performance,” Tovar said. “I’ve been training really hard for it so I was happy.”

With a 2-1 record—one win via walkover—Tovar is now preparing for the Addidas National Tournament, a five-day tournament that will be help in Oxnard in early June.
