Oceanside, CA – April 18, 2025 – The scales have spoken, and all fighters are set for a thrilling night of boxing tomorrow, Saturday, April 19, at the Frontwave Arena in Oceanside, California. Promoted by Golden Boy Promotions and broadcast live on DAZN, the card features a stacked lineup, including a highly anticipated undisputed flyweight title clash and a pivotal super welterweight main event.
In the headliner, the undefeated and reigning IBF, WBA, WBC, WBO, and Ring Magazine flyweight champion Gabriela "Sweet Poison" Fundora (15-0, 7 KOs) successfully weighed in at 111.0 lbs. Her opponent, the undefeated IBF #1 ranked challenger from Mexico, Marilyn Badillo (19-0-1, 3 KOs), also made weight, tipping the scales at 111.6 lbs. The height difference was evident at the weigh-in, with the taller Fundora holding a significant advantage. Badillo remained confident, stating, "I feel like I can do this. I can win.
