The bout is presented in association with Zanfer Boxing. With both fighters known for their explosive power and relentless style, fans can expect a war inside the ring.

“My last fight, I made history as the youngest undisputed champion in the world,” said Gabriela Fundora. “I am excited to make history again, this time defending my undisputed status against the very hungry Badillo. This is my first main event, and I can’t wait to show the world all the hard work Team Fundora puts in to be the best.”

“I worked hard to earn my spot to challenge for this undisputed championship,” said Marilyn Badillo. “I am excited to make my U.S. debut and make waves in women’s boxing.”

"Golden Boy has a proven track record of delivering top-tier fights for fans while transforming talented fighters into world champions," Chairman and CEO of Golden Boy Oscar De La Hoya said.

This fight has all the makings of an unforgettable night and with women’s boxing at an all-time high, Fundora is leading the charge.”

“I’m so excited to get in the ring with someone ranked in the top 10,” said Charles Conwell. “It’s time to show the world just how good I am.”

“I feel very motivated by this great opportunity,” said Jorge Garcia Perez. “I have always dreamed of reaching the top, and this fight is the challenge that brings me closer to that goal. I feel prepared, ready, and I will give my best to come out with the victory. Thanks to my team, Zanfer and everyone that made this possible. ¡Viva Mexico!”
