Malpartida said due to her condition of world champion she needed more training.

About accepting the Peruvian Institute of Sports (IPD) invitation to defend her world title in Lima, Malpartida said it would be really good to defend her title in Lima.

Regarding the 50,000 nuevos soles (15,000 U.S. dollars) that the IPD gave her as a reward for have became the boxing world champion on super featherweight category, Malpartida said that "I'm very thankful, this money will help me to continue training. Here the most important is to invest in boxing."
