Introduction

Delia 'Chikita' Gonzalez (born November 20, 1970) is an American former flyweight female boxer. She has a record of 13-9-4 with 3 knockout wins, although several of her losses have been controversial.

Personal and early life

Gonzalez is Mexican-American, and trained at the gym under her father's guidance. Soon she earned the nickname Chikita, after her favorite boxer, the former 2 time World flyweight champion Humberto "Chiquita" Gonzalez of Mexico.

Career

As a professional, Delia began with a 4-round decision win over Lucy Tellez in Texas. A couple of fights later, she beat Gloria Ramirez twice, once by knockout in the 3rd, and once by decision in 4. Both fights again took place in Texas. Two more wins followed and a title shot came after that, and she beat Klee Fenie in Las Vegas to become the WIBF's world Flyweight champion. She defended her title against Anissa Zamarron winning on points, then met Phoenix's Yvonne Trevino which the judges called a technical draw (word used for tie in boxing). She later met Jolene Blackshear and lost the world title.

She traveled to Cologne, Germany in May 2000 for a bout against Regina Halmich, which she lost. She won four fights after her loss, including two wins over Yolanda Gonzalez.

Later, Gonzales fought in the bantamweight ranks, and in June 2003 lost a fight against Ada Vélez for the WIBA bantamweight title on a seventh-round disqualification. She is also managed boxer Rebecca Rodriguez.

On March 19, 2004 Gonzalez returned to the ring for a 6-round draw with Johanna Peña-Álvarez.
