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.

The World Boxing Federation (WBA) has named Puerto Rican legend Amanda Serrano its Boxer of the Month for May, recognizing another dominant performance by one of the sport’s greatest champions.

The recognition follows Serrano’s spectacular performance at the gala in El Paso, Texas, in overdue May. In that fight, the current WBA Featherweight World Champion put her title on the line against German challenger Cheyenne Hanson and with an impressive victory, she put to rest any lingering doubts about her place at the top of the 126-pound division.

Consistent with her aggressive, crowd-pleasing style, Serrano wasted no time establishing her authority. The Puerto Rican superstar defeated his opponent from the very beginning and ended the gala with a technical knockout in the second round. Combining precise body shots with relentless close-range pressure, the defending champion forced the referee to stop the fight, further cementing her status as one of the most dominant figures in women’s boxing history.

The WBA organization also awarded the Honorable Mention of the Month to the outstanding American federation Stephanie Han, who delivered an impressive performance at the same gala in El Paso. Han engaged in a tactical battle with veteran Holly Holm for the vacant WBA lightweight world title. After ten rounds of hard-fought fighting characterized by constant activity and competitive exchanges, Han won by majority decision with scores of 96-94, 95-95 and 96-94 to claim the 135-pound crown.

Through these awards, the WBA recognizes the excellence and continuous development of women’s boxing. Serrano receives the organization’s highest honor each month, continuing her extraordinary legacy, and Han’s winning performance earns her well-deserved recognition among the sport’s standouts.
