Gabriela Fundora to Defend Title Against Ayelén Granadino
Undisputed flyweight world champion Gabriela “Sweet Poison” Fundora is ready to make history once again. On September 20, she will step into the ring at the Fantasy Springs Resort Casino in Indio, California, defending her titles against Argentina’s rising star Ayelén “Piru” Granadino. The event, promoted by Golden Boy Promotions, will stream live on DAZN.
A Champion Returning Home
This will be Fundora’s third defense of her undisputed crown. The 23-year-old sensation, born and raised in California’s Coachella Valley, has quickly become one of boxing’s brightest stars. In April, she showcased her power by stopping Marilyn Badillo in the seventh round. Fighting at home for only the second time in her career, Fundora aims to deliver another dominant performance in front of her fans.
The Challenger from Argentina
Ayelén Granadino, a determined 27-year-old contender from Buenos Aires, earned this shot by defeating former champion Micaela Luján. With a record of 12-2-4, Granadino brings relentless pressure and grit to the ring. Making her U.S. debut, she hopes to shock the boxing world by taking all the belts back to Argentina.
Clash of Styles on a Global Stage
This matchup promises high drama. Fundora’s precision, reach, and technique will be tested against Granadino’s nonstop aggression. With Fundora still undefeated at 16-0 with 8 KOs, every round will matter as fans watch two nations collide in a fight that could reshape the future of the women’s flyweight division.
A Legacy in the Making
At just 22 years old, Fundora became the youngest undisputed boxing champion in the four-belt era when she defeated Gabriela Alaniz in 2024. Named Female Fighter of the Year by ESPN, The Ring, and the BWAA, she is already carving her place in boxing history. A win on September 20 will further cement her reign as the queen of the flyweights.
