LAS VEGAS – Gabriela Fundora is a 20-1 favorite to win her 10-round, 115-pound title fight Saturday night.

The youngest undisputed champion, male or female, in boxing history will face an opponent in Marilyn Badillo whose 19-0-1 record has been built mostly against pedestrian opponents with .500 records or worse. Only one of Badillo’s past four opponents has entered the ring with a winning record, but the 25-year-old Mexican contender stands out in the flyweight division as one of the few women worthy of a shot at Fundora’s Ring, IBF, WBA, WBC and WBO championships.

Fundora (15-0, 7 KOs) isn’t all that concerned about the boxing public’s opinion or overall awareness of Mexico’s Badillo. For Sebastian Fundora’s younger sister, their main event at Frontwave Arena in Oceanside, California, is primarily about her, not Badillo.

“I’ve been saying this a lot because this is what I feel, honestly,” Gabriela Fundora told The Ring. “When people tune in to see my fights, I want the people to only care to see the name Fundora. And I don’t care who I fight. It’s almost like Canelo – no one’s gonna remember who the heck he fought. Yes, he’s fighting an undisputed fight [against William Scull on May 3]. But they’re tuning in to see Canelo. And I want that to be the case for me as well.”

Fundora, 23, has been must-see streaming over the past 18 months. The Coachella, California native has won three of her past four bouts by knockout, which she believes has made fans want to see her perform more than some of her female contemporaries who tend to go the distance.

DAZN will stream Fundora-Badillo as the main event Saturday night of a Golden Boy Promotions show scheduled to start at 5 p.m. PT (8 p.m. ET).

Fundora’s emergence from her 6-foot-6 brother’s expansive shadow has helped her secure the No. 6 position on The Ring’s pound-for-pound list. The undisputed 115-pound champion was also named “Women’s Fighter of the Year” for 2024 by The Ring.

The 5-foot-7 southpaw is slowly but surely building her profile. However long it takes to become somewhat of a household name, Fundora is thankful to be part of the worldwide growth of women’s boxing.

Undisputed junior welterweight champ Katie Taylor and rival Amanda Serrano will headline an all-women’s card July 11 at Madison Square Garden in New York. Their 10-round rematch, which Taylor narrowly won by unanimous decision November 15, was watched by an average of approximately 74 million viewers worldwide on Netflix from AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.

Netflix, which boasts nearly 302 million subscribers globally, will stream their third fight as well. This time, though, Ireland’s Taylor (24-1, 6 KOs) and Brooklyn’s Serrano (47-3-1, 31 KOs) will go at it in the main event, not in the co-feature before a maligned men’s match between an opportunistic influencer and a long-retired, 58-year-old former heavyweight champion.

“Doing an all-female card on Netflix, one of the biggest platforms,” Fundora said, “that right there is like, ‘Wow!’ And it’s gonna continue to grow. For females, thank you to our pioneers that started this for us. But it isn’t the same as it was a couple years back. I think these girls are wanting that same attention [as male boxers].

“With wanting that same attention, they’re gonna go and put on those performances, so they can keep attracting that attention. That includes myself. I love that people know me for my knockouts. We’re gonna continue to strive to get that. I think it’s just gonna keep growing.”
