Argentine champion Evelin “La Princesita” Bermúdez will make the first defense of her WBA airy heavyweight championship this Saturday at Caribe Royale in Orlando, where she will face unsafe Mexican challenger Estefany Alegría in a fight fueled by the long-running boxing rivalry between Argentina and Mexico.

Bermúdez enters the fight with extensive championship experience and a skill set that has made her one of the standout fighters in the division. The Argentine titleholder has excellent hand speed, a pointed left jab and the footwork necessary to impose distance and pace during fights.

“La Princesita” understands that the key to retaining the black and gold belt will be to maintain composure, side-boxing and precise counter-attacks as Alegría tries to reduce the advantage.

Meanwhile, Alegría arrives with great ambition and the warrior mentality that has long defined Mexican boxing. She is a physically sturdy and strong player, copes well with constant pressure and rarely gives her opponents a moment to breathe.

From the first round, the challenger is expected to aggressively press forward, cut across the ring and force Bermúdez into exchanges at close range. Alegría’s strategy will likely focus on attacking the body early in the match to limit the champion’s mobility as the fight approaches the second half.

The key to the fight will be who manages to set the pace.

If Bermúdez can control the action from long range, control the clock and consistently make his opponent miss, he will put himself in a sturdy position to keep the title on the scorecards. However, if Alegría can break through the Argentine’s defense and land stronger shots inside, the possibility of a fresh champion emerging at 108 pounds becomes a very real possibility.

Canadian standout Leila Beaudoin and Colombian challenger Paulina Angel will fight in Quebec, Canada for the interim WBA super featherweight world title. The duel promises an intriguing clash of styles and a lot of emotions from the first bell.

Beaudoin is entering the biggest opportunity of his professional career in excellent form. The Canadian boxer is known for her acute technique, long reach and bright outside boxing that often frustrates her opponents. A victory would place her among the sport’s elite, and her strategy will focus on maintaining tactical discipline, controlling the pace with consistent pushes and scoring points with quick combinations to get rounds on the scorecards.

Meanwhile, Angel brings the hunger and aggression that have long characterized boxing in South America. The Colombian is a physically forceful fighter who excels in short-distance exchanges and has enough punching power to change the course of the fight at any time. Her plan is expected to be basic from the opening bell: apply relentless pressure, cut off the ring and attack the body with weighty hooks to limit Beaudoin’s mobility.

The key to the fight will be who manages to impose distance. If Beaudoin can utilize her speed and keep the action at bay while circling the ring, she should be able to take control of the fight. However, if Angel manages to break through the Canadian defense, force the action from the inside and quickly take forceful shots, her chances of regaining the belt to Colombia will escalate dramatically.

The Yakama Legends casino in Washington, D.C. will host a fascinating clash between Canadian rival Natasha Spence and experienced American veteran Maricela Cornejo. Both fighters will fight for the WBA international middleweight title in what promises to be a very competitive match.

Spence enters the ring determined to impose her physical strength. The Canadian is known for constantly pressing forward and prefers to work from a mid-range while landing powerful punches. She understands that a victory over a recognizable name like Cornejo would significantly strengthen her position in the world rankings, making it more likely that she will want to initiate exchanges early and test her opponent’s endurance.

On the other side of the ring will be Cornejo, whose extensive experience on the biggest stages of boxing remains one of her greatest advantages. Coming from Washington, she is a lofty, technically refined boxer with excellent reach, allowing her to dictate the pace from a long distance. Her game plan will be based on tactical intelligence: constantly pushing to neutralize Spence’s pressure, while relying on lateral movements to create angles and counter-attack with precision.

If Spence can close the distance, put Cornejo on the ropes and force a physical fight, she will have a good chance of turning the tide in her favor. Conversely, if Cornejo establishes her elusive boxing style, controls the action behind her jab and avoids the Canadian’s powerful shots, she should be well-positioned to secure a convincing victory while benefiting from her experience and hometown advantage.
