Photos: Ana Maria Torres Announces Her Career Break

On Wednesday morning at a restaurant in Mexico City, a press conference was held involving Ana Maria Torres, her husband Christopher Mora, and Don Jose Sulaiman, the WBC President, and Hector Garcia, general manager of HG Boxing. Torres held the presser to annouce what BoxingScene.com revealed last Friday, that she plans to take a break from boxing, because Torres recently found out she was pregnant and the baby is expected in December.

"I want to inform you that I am in a new phase of my life. I'm expecting a baby, to be born in December, so I'll take a break from my career after 13 years in professional boxing," she said. "I'll be out of action this year. If everything goes well with my baby, I'll come back fully recovered to the sport I love."

Sulaiman named her as the WBC's champion emeritus at super flyweight. She is also the only female to win the WBC's Diamond belt.
