(SEPT 25) TAMPA, FL– On October 10th, at the Banquet Masters in Clearwater, Florida. Simona Sarpa, who relocated from Italy, will make her pro debut Saturday, on October 16th against Amarilis Adorno, 1-10-0 (0KO), of Ventura, California. Adorno has faced some very tough competition previously when fighting the likes of Seniesa Estrada, Noemi Bosques, on three different occasions. She may have a 1-10 record but her experience in fighting a debuter may come in as past valuable experience.
Originally from Naples, Italy, Sarpa dabbled with boxing in Italy but the sport’s lack of popularity in her area eliminated the possibility of competing. Sarpa relocated to Tampa in 2017 and shortly after moving stateside, she begun training at Fight Fitness Center.
Sarpa trains each morning, with evenings dedicated to her critically acclaimed Italian restaurant Viva Napoli. Although she’s had 10 amateur fights and successfully balances boxing with owning a business, Sarpa was hungry for more.

9/21/2019 – Amateur fight of Sarpa
In the press release Simona said, “I wanted to turn pro because the amateur tournaments I competed in were three rounds, with each round only lasting a minute and a half,” said Sarpa. “I’m a technical boxer so those fights weren’t giving me enough time to showcase my skills. Most of all, I love the sport of boxing so turning pro is a great opportunity.”
Sarpa also said that she had watched some of Adorno’s recent fights and that she and her team worked on a strategy….Boxing folks will definitely see what they have planned to do with the much more experience veteran boxer of 14 years!
According to the release their four round bout is part of a 10-fight card, and presented by Fire Fist Boxing in association with Pahlavan Promotions. Tickets can be purchased at bit.ly/boxing-tickets or by calling 727-525-3159. Doors open at 5:30 PM and first fight is scheduled for 6:30.
