In Arizona, Ramla Ali of Britain and Yamileth Mercado of Mexico faced off for the WBC World Super Bantamweight title. Despite Ali’s hopes for her first world title, Mercado emerged victorious with a unanimous points decision. Mercado, who has held the title since 2019, outshone Ali and defended her belt for the seventh time with scores of 98-92, 98-93, 97-93 in her favor.
In a post-fight message on Instagram, Ali expressed her gratitude for the love and wished Mercado and the judges well. Meanwhile, British boxer Sunny Edwards secured a unanimous points victory against Adrian Curiel in a flyweight match. Edwards dominated the scorecards with 90-82, 88-84, 87-85, but the fight was prematurely called off by the ringside doctor due to a cut on Edwards’ right eye caused by an accidental clash of heads.
Jesse Rodriguez maintained his unbeaten record with a knockout win over Juan Estrada to become the new WBC and Ring Magazine super flyweight world champion. Despite experiencing his first knockdown in the fifth round, Rodriguez emerged victorious with a devastating body punch in the seventh. Reflecting on the fight, Rodriguez expressed his satisfaction with the outcome and his resilience after hitting the canvas for the first time in his career.
