Gabriela Fundora to defend vs. unbeaten Marilyn Badillo

Undisputed world flyweight champion Gabriela “Sweet Poison” Fundora (pictured) will face Marilyn Badillo (19-0-1) for the four major belts at 122 pounds. The fight will take place on April 19th of this year at the Frontwave Arena in Oceanside, California, United States. DAZN will broadcast. At age 23, Fundora (15-0) is the youngest undisputed champion in the world.  On the same card, Charles “Bad News” Conwell (21-0, 16 KOs), of Cleveland, is set to clash with former IBO title holder Jorge “Chino” Perez (32-4, 26 KOs), of Mexico, in a twelve-round junior middleweight battle. 
 
The world’s youngest undisputed world champion, Fundora told the WBC, “I’m excited to make history again, this time defending my undisputed status against the hungry Badillo. This is my first main event and I can’t wait to show the world all the effort Team Fundora puts in to be the best.”
 
Badillo responded, “I worked hard to earn my spot and compete for this undisputed championship. I am excited to make my debut in the United States and make a splash in women’s boxing.”
 
“I’m so excited to get in the ring with someone ranked in the top ten,” said Conwell. “It’s time to show the world just how good I am.”
 
“I feel very motivated by this great opportunity,” said 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!”
