Too Small, Too Old, Too Dangerous – Viviana’s Warpath to the Top

World champ Viviana Ruiz returns for another
high-octane yarn, diving deep into the brutal and unlikely road
she took to become a professional boxer. From lying about her
weight to get fights, to getting bashed by veterans, to pushing
back against a boxing system that didn’t want her – this is a
raw, honest look at what it takes to rise when the odds are
stacked against you.


Viviana shares the harsh realities of being a petite,
30-something Colombian woman in an Australian boxing world that
tried to ignore her. With over 60 amateur fights, constant
travel, and rejection from selectors, she and her partner Ben
fought everyone and everything to finally reach the pinnacle –
winning the WBA Women’s Flyweight World Title in
April 2025.


This yarn is about grit, sacrifice, and fighting for your place
when no one wants to give it to you.
