Argentina's Evelin “La Princesita” Bermúdez will defend her WBA / WBA / WBO light flyweight championships this Saturday at the Caribe Royale in Orlando, where she will face dangerous Mexican Estefany Alegría (14-1) in a matchup fueled by the longstanding boxing rivalry between Argentina and Mexico. Bermúdez (22-1-1) enters the bout backed by extensive championship experience and a skill set that has made her one of the division’s standout fighters. The Argentine titleholder possesses excellent hand speed, a sharp left jab, and the footwork necessary to dictate distance and tempo throughout a fight. “La Princesita” understands that the key to retaining her black-and-gold belt will be maintaining her composure, boxing laterally, and countering with precision whenever Alegría attempts to close the gap.
Alegría, meanwhile, arrives with plenty of ambition and the warrior mentality that has long defined Mexican boxing. A physically strong and durable competitor, she thrives on constant pressure and rarely gives her opponents a moment to breathe.
From the opening round, the challenger is expected to press forward aggressively, cut off the ring, and force Bermúdez into exchanges at close range. Alegría’s strategy will likely focus on attacking the body early in an effort to reduce the champion’s mobility as the fight moves into the second half. The key to the fight will be who succeeds in imposing the pace. If Bermúdez can control the action from long range, manage the timing, and consistently make her opponent miss, she will put herself in a strong position to retain her title on the scorecards. However, if Alegría is able to break through the Argentine’s defense and land her heavier shots on the inside, the possibility of a new champion emerging at 108 pounds becomes very real.

SEPT. 26, 2025: Evelin “La Princesita” Bermúdez (22-1-1, 8 KOs) proved why she’s at the very top of women’s boxing, adding the WBA light flyweight championship to the WBO and IBF versions already in her possession with a stunning first-round TKO over Sara Bailey (6-1, 0 KOs) last weekend at the Hard Rock Casino in Ottawa. From the opening bell, the Argentinean wasted no time. Bermúdez unleashed a blistering combination that left Bailey unable to respond. At just 1:47 of the round, a straight right hand crashed cleanly to Bailey’s face, sending her to the canvas and forcing the referee to step in immediately, waving off the contest in the face of Bermúdez’s clear dominance. The emphatic finish not only reaffirmed Bermúdez’s offensive firepower but also increased her status to that of a three-belt champion. Bailey, previously known as Sara Haghighat-Joo, was overwhelmed by the pace and firepower of “La Princesita.” The loss drops her to 6-1.
