Spence and Cornejo are fighting for the WBA – World Boxing Association international middleweight crown

Published

on

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.

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.
