In a resounding performance, Gabriela Fundora remains the undisputed flyweight champion after Marilyn Badillo retired in the seventh round. From the start, Fundora made it clear why she is the absolute queen of the division.
Gabriela Fundora Undisputed Champion
With relentless pace and surgical precision, Fundora dominated Badillo, landing 99 power punches compared to only 21 from his opponent.
The technical difference was evident, and Badillo’s corner decided not to let her out for the eighth round, recognizing the superiority of the champion.
At just 23 years old, Fundora continues to build a career that is beginning to draw comparisons to the likes of Claressa Shields and Katie Taylor.
Her ability to control the ring and her tactical maturity place her as one of the best pound-for-pound boxers in the world today.
After the bout, Fundora commented: “I’m here to stay. I want to keep proving that I’m the best in the world.”
Their confidence and ambition are clear, and the outlook for future title defenses is exciting.
Marilyn Badillo, on the other hand, acknowledged the power of her rival: “I felt every hit. She’s a legitimate champion.”
Looking ahead, Fundora is expected to face high-level challengers to test her dominance.
However, with each fight, she not only defends her belts, but also cements her legacy in women’s boxing.
Fundora’s win not only reaffirms her status as undisputed champion, but also raises the profile of the flyweight division and women’s boxing worldwide.
