If relations between Cuba and America have recently thawed, then there may well be a new battle between the two countries on the horizon.

Cuban bikini babe Kathy Ferreiro, 21, is vying to steal Kim Kardashian's crown for having the curviest booty in America.

The Miami-based Latina, who has already been dubbed the 'Cuban Kim Kardashian' by the city's fashion crowd, is well known for strutting her stuff on the region's balmy beaches.

Her Instagram and Twitter accounts are attracting new followers daily with the hourglass-shaped Latina hoping that her seemingly never-ending stream of body shots will help her to emulate some of Kim's success.

She describes herself as a 'mamasota', meaning 'hot' or 'sexy' in Spanish and is as fond of belfies and selfies as her idol.

Her Instagram profile 'Kathyzworld' is awash with photos of her working out in the gym and posing next to expensive cars or on speed boats.

The budding star has firmly denied that her bottom has been artificially altered, saying that her pictures are '100 percent real' without any photoshopping.
