Following successful karate and kickboxing careers, Nava made her pro boxing debut in 2001. Success came quickly, winning the inaugural WBA bantamweight and inaugural WBC super bantamweight titles in back-to-back fights in 2005. After two defenses of the WBC belt, including one over Kelsey Jeffries (W 10), she lost the title to Alejandra Oliveras and drew in the rematch. Nava won the interim WBC super bantamweight title in 2007 but was unsuccessful in a WBC super bantamweight title bid versus Marcela Acuna (L 10). In 2011 she engaged in two bouts with Ana Maria Torres, drawing in a non-title go and losing a 10-round decision for the WBC diamond bantamweight belt. Nava rebounded to capture the WBA super bantamweight belt from Chantall Martinez (W 10) in 2012 and was elevated to super champion (2014-16). In 2014 she unified with a WBC title win over Alicia Ashley (W 10) and reigned until 2015.
The 5’3” champion retired in 2022 with a pro record of 40-4-4 (16 KOs) and wins over Lisa Brown, Edith Matthysse and Yazmin Rivas. ned for her skills and speed, the 5’2” champion retired in 2022 with a pro record of 19-3-1 (7 KOs).
