Gabriela Tellez Ready to Make a Statement This Friday in Orlando

SAN ANTONIO, TX (February 16, 2026) – Boxlab Promotions’ undefeated lightweight contender, Gabriela Tellez (6-0, 2 KOs), just wrapped up training camp as she gears up for the biggest fight of her young career. Tellez will face veteran power-puncher Calista Silgado (22-20-4, 16 KOs) in a scheduled 10-round bout for the WBA Female Continental Americas title on Friday, February 20, 2026, at the Caribe Royale Resort in Orlando, Florida. The action-packed event will stream live worldwide on the Boxlab Promotions YouTube channel, giving fans access from anywhere in the world.

Locked-In Training Camp in San Antonio

For Tellez, this isn’t just another fight — it’s an opportunity to announce herself as a serious force in the lightweight division. Tellez recently wrapped up a grueling training camp in San Antonio under the guidance of head coach Arturo Ramos and her father, Martin Tellez, who has been instrumental in her boxing journey from day one. Speaking on her preparation, Tellez made it clear that this camp has elevated her to another level. Tellez emphasized that the structure and discipline in camp have her feeling stronger and more confident than ever heading into her first 10-round title fight.

“This has been the most intense camp of my career,” said Tellez. “Working with Coach Arturo Ramos and my dad in San Antonio pushed me mentally and physically. We focused on sharpening every detail, my footwork, my conditioning, my combinations. I’m not just coming in to win…I’m coming in to dominate. This camp was about preparing to make a statement.”

Respect for Silgado — But No Fear

Tellez understands that Calista Silgado brings experience and knockout power into the ring, but she sees the matchup as the perfect test at the right time. Tellez believes Silgado’s veteran presence will bring out the best in her.

“Calista has experience and she’s faced tough competition. Sixteen knockouts shows she can punch,” Tellez said. “But experience doesn’t win fights by itself. Hunger does. Discipline does. I respect what she’s done in the sport, but this is my time. I’m younger, I’m sharper, and I’m evolving every fight. I’m ready for this level. Fighting someone like her motivates me. This is the kind of opponent that proves where you really belong. I’m ready to show that I belong at the top.”

Fighting for the WBA Female Continental Americas Title

With the WBA Female Continental Americas Title on the line, Tellez sees this as a pivotal moment in her young career. She views the belt as more than just hardware.

“This title means everything to me right now,” Tellez explained. “It represents the next step toward becoming a world champion. You don’t get opportunities like this without earning them. I’ve worked for this since I first laced up gloves. It’s not just about the title — it’s about what it symbolizes. It shows I’m climbing the ladder and that I’m serious about becoming one of the best in the world.”

A Career-Defining Opportunity

At just 6-0, Tellez knows that a victory on February 20 could accelerate her rise in the lightweight rankings. She closed with a message to fans tuning in worldwide.

“A win here changes everything,” said Tellez confidently. “It puts my name in the conversation. It shows I can go 10 rounds, handle a veteran, and perform under pressure. After this fight, people won’t just see me as a prospect, they’ll see me as a contender. On February 20, I’m going to show the world exactly who Gabriela Tellez is. I’m hungry, I’m focused, and I’m coming to take that title.”
