Training out of Hall of Famer Lee Espinoza's boxing club in Coachella, Sibrian has only been competing for a year and a half.
"Coachella is my home now and we have had such great support from the city and Lee Espinoza who opened the doors for us," said Sibrian. "And we really want to carry on his legacy."
"She has proved everybody wrong and her style is something everybody would love," said head coach Marcos Caballero. "To see her fight it's aggressive and entertainment."
Sibrian won the 2022 National Championship in Lubbock, Texas earlier this month.
"I tried to tell everybody 3 years ago, but they didn't listen," said manager Jose Soto. "You have power you have speed, your style I know what it can become if you go forward and don't stop punching hard. I told her I think you are going to take a national title if you decide to go amateur, and here we are."
"I am just really grateful for the family that we built here and we just want to keep it alive," said Sibrian.
