The evening in Orlando, held as part of the WBA’s 104th Annual Convention, added another significant chapter to women’s boxing history as Jasmine Artiga successfully defended her WBA super flyweight title, defeating Stephanie Silva of Venezuela by unanimous decision. The scoreboards – 99-91, 97-93 and an uneven 100-90 – left no doubt about Artiga’s dominance in the ten-round fight.

From the first bell, Artiga set a rapid pace, built on keen shots, smart footwork and precise timing. Her game plan was clear: control the distance, avoid unnecessary exchanges and wear Silva down with pristine, consistent punches. The American champion showed incredible maturity, managing her energy effectively while maintaining the initiative in each round.

Silva entered the fight with a reputation as an aggressive, high-pressure fighter, able to shift momentum through sheer intensity. Instead, she ran into an opponent who neutralized her from the start. Every attempt by the Venezuelan to close the gap was met with precision by Artiga, who counterattacked with decisive combinations of punches to the head and body, forcing Silva to do the opposite much more often than usual.

As the rounds progressed, the gap between them became more and more obvious. Artiga not only landed more often, but did so with greater clarity and confidence. Her defense – based on subtle waist movements and lateral steps – thwarted Silva’s attacks, preventing her from achieving a consistent rhythm. Even in moments when Silva tried to force rallies, the champion responded calmly, choosing the right shots and not getting caught up in the confusion.

The final stretch of the fight was a display of Artiga’s total control. Fully aware of her advantage, she maintained tactical discipline and did not take unnecessary risks. Silva, playing until the final bell, looked for a replacement that would never materialize, narrow by the champion’s precision and defensive structure.

When the final bell rang, there was no discussion in the room. Artiga was the better player from start to finish. The official scorecards only confirmed what everyone in the ring already knew: a wide, clear and thoroughly deserved victory that keeps her at the top of the WBA super flyweight division.

The Convention Charter delivered a clear conclusion: women’s boxing continues to grow in quality, competitiveness and spectacle – and as part of this evolution, Jasmine Artiga has carved her name in bold type.

Estefany Alegría delivered the best performance of her professional career, dethroning one of the sport’s most renowned champions. The Mexican won the World Boxing Association (WBA) lithe heavyweight title after a dominant unanimous decision victory over experienced Argentine titleholder Evelin “La Princesita” Bermúdez, stunning the boxing world with a 108-pounder at Caribe Royale in Orlando.

Alegría’s victory was decisive from start to finish. The fighter imposed her will throughout the ten-round fight, showing an overwhelming advantage, which was fully reflected on the judges’ scorecards. At the end of the fight, the official score was 99-91, 99-91 and an impressive 100-90, crowning the fresh queen of the black and gold organization.

True to his name and proud Mexican fighting tradition, Alegría applied constant pressure that completely neutralized Bermúdez’s technical distance boxing style. The Argentine tried to keep her challenger at bay with her left jab, but Alegría consistently cut off the ring, forcing close exchanges in which she landed punishing hooks to the body and powerful combinations upstairs.

As the rounds progressed, Bermúdez struggled to establish a consistent rhythm while Alegría continued to dictate the pace and distance of the fight. Her aggression, work rate and efficiency left no doubt as to the result.

With this impressive triumph, Estefana Alegría secures her place in the sport’s elite and will bring another world champion belt to Mexico during the 2026 boxing season.

Nataly Delgado drew on her experience and ring knowledge to reach the top of the 115-pound division in Orlando, Florida. The Panamanian veteran won the World Boxing Association (WBA) super flyweight title with a unanimous decision victory over previously undefeated American Jasmine Artiga in a brisk and hard-fought fight.

Delgado’s triumph was the result of a disciplined and well-executed ten-round game plan. The official scorecards read 97-93, 97-93 and 97-93, reflecting the challenger’s increasing control as the fight progressed and her clear dominance during the championship rounds.

From the first bell, Artiga tried to dictate the action with her hand speed and deft movement. Delgado, however, implemented her strategy to perfection. The Panamanian maintained a tight guard, intelligently cut off the ring and consistently invested in bodywork, landing a mighty punch to the stomach.

This constant pressure gradually weakened the American champion, allowing Delgado to take command of the close-range rallies. As Artiga slowed, Delgado took advantage, winning key moments down the stretch to secure the victory and take the prestigious black and gold belt back to Panama.

With the biggest victory of her career, Delgado cemented her place among the elite super flyweights and added another world championship chapter to Panamanian boxing history.
