August 31, 2025 — Brazil is celebrating a new WBC world champion after RoseMary Amorim captured the prestigious WBC MuayThai welterweight world championship strap with a commanding performance at last night’s MuayThai Gala in Puerto Rico.
Amorim delivered a career-defining display to defeat world-ranked #1 Angela Whitley, securing a unanimous points victory. The triumph also served as redemption for Amorim, who avenged an earlier loss to Whitley with this emphatic win.
Whitley, ever the warrior, put forth a gallant effort, but Amorim’s sharp technique, relentless pace, and determination left no doubt in the judges’ eyes as she claimed the title.
This landmark victory not only elevates Amorim to the pinnacle of the welterweight division but also highlights the growing strength of Brazilian MuayThai on the global stage.
Congratulations to Rose Amorim and her entire team on this historic achievement.
