Fundora, known as "Sweet Poison," holds the WBA, WBO, WBC, IBF, and The Ring world titles. She's from California and has a perfect record of 15 wins with 7 knockouts. At just 21 years old, she's already made history as the youngest undisputed champion in the world.
Badillo comes from Cuautitlan in Mexico with an impressive 19 wins, no losses, and 1 draw. She's been unbeaten since 2018 and has recently picked up victories over Melissa Meraz, Tania Garcia Hernandez, and Graciela Cortes.
This fight marks several firsts for both women. It's Fundora's first time headlining an event, while Badillo will make her US debut. Golden Boy Promotions and Sampson Boxing have put together what they're calling "a night that will go down in history for women's boxing."
Fundora shared her thoughts on the upcoming bout:
"In my last fight, I made history as the youngest undisputed champion in the world. 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'm looking forward to showing the world all the effort that the Fundora team puts in to be the best."
Badillo also expressed her excitement:
"I worked hard to earn my place and compete for this undisputed championship. I'm excited to make my debut in the United States and make a splash in women's boxing."
The fight's not just about glory - there's serious money on the line too. Fundora's guaranteed to take home $350,000, but that could balloon to $1.5 million depending on pay-per-view sales. It's a big step up from her previous best payday of $250,000. Badillo's guaranteed $125,000, with the potential to earn between $400,000 and $600,000.
Both fighters will step into the ring with perfect records on the line. Fundora will look to build on her victory over Celeste Alaniz, while Badillo aims to prove she deserves her spot as the IBF's number one challenger.
With all five major titles up for grabs, both women have a chance to cement their place in boxing history. Fans can look forward to an action-packed night as these two undefeated champions go head-to-head.
