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.

Candidates Cintia Sánchez and Keyla Jiménez will face each other on May 19 in Madrid in an invigorating fight for the World Boxing Association (WBA) youth minimum weight championship. This fight represents a great opportunity for both fighters to elevate their profiles and move one step closer to the elite ranks of the 105-pound division.

Sánchez enters the competition determined to impose her disciplined and tactical style. Known for her hand speed and wise outside boxing, she will look to control the pace from the opening bell. Her game plan is expected to be based around a constant left jab disrupting her opponent’s attacks, combined with edged footwork and effective counter-attacks to bank runs on the scorecards.

Meanwhile, Jiménez proposes a completely different approach. The fierce challenger is known for her physical strength and constant pressure. She is not afraid to move forward, excels in close-range exchanges and will look to wear down Sánchez by cutting off the ring, forcing action and attacking the body with hefty hooks in an attempt to weaken her opponent’s mobility later in the fight.

If Sánchez can maintain distance, execute his jab correctly, and move freely around the ring, he may be able to control the action throughout the fight. However, if Jiménez can break down the defensive barrier, force constant exchanges inside and impose her physicality, her chances of leaving Madrid as the novel WBA minimumweight youth champion will escalate dramatically.

Contrasting styles and a prestigious title have all the ingredients in place for a fascinating battle between two emerging talents looking to make their mark on the international stage.
