One night in her hometown of Cebolla in Toledo, Spain, Lara Fernandez watched a Muay Thai event and became interested in trying the sport. She instantly got hooked and started training when she was 14 years old. However, there were not a lot of opportunities to train or compete in her hometown. She ultimately decided to move out and pursue a career in martial arts on her own. At just 16, Fernandez moved to Coria del Rio in Sevilla where she joined the Lone Wolf Fight Team that she is still part of today.#2 Real Betis was instrumental to her rise
Female fighters did not have a lot of opportunities to shine in events, as they were only given two-minute rounds instead of three. As a result, Lara Fernandez found it difficult to gain sponsors and had to find alternative ways to earn a living. For a while, she had to work at a fuel station to support her training and everyday needs. However, she got a huge boost from Real Betis, the Spanish football club based in Andalucia. Fernandez has been a fan of the club since her move to Coria del Rio. She posted a tweet asking team captain Joaquin Sanchez for his jersey to wear for her fights, which not only went viral, but actually came true. LO CONSEGUÍ!!!!!! ??Un sueño hecho realidad.
