Fight Breakdown
Gabriela Fundora: The Youngest Undisputed Champion
Fundora, known as “Sweet Poison,” is defending her undisputed flyweight titles for the first time after making history as the youngest undisputed champion in boxing. She captured the IBF title with a knockout of Arely Muciño, then unified the division by defeating Gabriela Celeste Alaniz via seventh-round TKO in November 2024.
Fundora’s height and reach advantage, combined with her southpaw stance and aggressive style, make her a formidable force. She has shown an ability to control distance, overwhelm opponents with volume punching, and capitalize on openings.
Marilyn Badillo Amaya: The Hungry Challenger
Badillo, ranked No. 3 in the flyweight division, enters the fight undefeated and eager to make an impact in her U.S. debut. She won the WBC International Flyweight Championship in 2024 and defended it twice, most recently against Graciela Cortes Aguilar.
While Badillo lacks knockout power, she is a technical boxer with strong defensive skills. Her ability to neutralize Fundora’s reach and counter effectively will be key to her success.
