Fundora made history and is the youngest undisputed title holder – World Boxing Association

Published

on

Gabriela Fundora became the youngest fighter to win the undisputed title after knocking out Celeste Alaniz last Saturday. The 22-year-old American stopped the Argentine in the seventh round to claim four flyweight crowns (WBA, WBO, IBF and WBC) after a stunning performance at the Virgin Hotels in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Fundora patiently worked the awkward opponent and gradually found her distance to begin to impose herself and set the pace of the fight with her height and reach advantage.

Although she had to adjust to her opponent in the first few rounds, who put a lot of pressure on her and threw a series of punches, she figured it out and in the fourth round she looked comfortable and in control of the fight.

The seventh round was crucial as she landed a tough punch that sent Alaniz to the canvas. Although the South American recovered, Fundora was able to combine her strength again and take her down a second time in more dramatic fashion, so that the visiting corner decided not to continue and the victory was decided in favor of the novel champion.

Fundora currently has a record of 15 wins, no losses and 7 knockouts. On the other hand, Alaniz has a record of 15 wins, 2 losses and 6 knockouts.
