Gabriela “Sweet Poison” Fundora is poised to defend her undisputed flyweight crown in a high-stakes showdown against Argentina’s Ayelén “Piru” Granadino on September 20, 2025, at Fantasy Springs Resort Casino in Indio, California. This monumental clash, streaming live on DAZN, marks a career-defining moment for both fighters and has the boxing world buzzing. Known in casual conversation as “Fundora vs Granadino”, this matchup unifies not just the WBA, WBC, IBF, and WBO titles but also the Ring Magazine championship making it one of the most significant fights in women’s boxing this year.
Why Fundora vs Granadino Is a Must-Watch Fight
This matchup captures all the elements of a true heavyweight boxing attraction, despite its 112-lb weight class.

Fundora’s elite combination of reach, southpaw angle, and technical skill creates an analytical punch with athlete-like precision, standing in stark contrast to Granadino’s relentless pressure and volume punching.

Beyond athletic intrigue, the winner of this fight will influence future opportunities like potential superfights at super flyweight or a career-defining upset for Granadino.
Fighter Profiles
Gabriela “Sweet Poison” Fundora
Born on March 29, 2002, Fundora has emerged as a generational talent in women’s boxing. At just 23 years old, she became the youngest undisputed champion male or female in the four-belt era, when she defeated Gabriela Celeste Alaniz via stoppage on November 4, 2024. Standing at 5’9″ with a 69-inch reach, she uses her size to dominate range, combining a stiff jab with southpaw angles and body work. Prior to unifying all belts in late 2024, she had already captured the IBF title in October 2023, later adding the WBC, WBA, WBO, and Ring belts. Her pro record boasts 16 wins, eight by knockout and zero losses.
Fundora’s pedigree runs deep: she trained at Olympic-quality gyms during her amateur career and comes from a boxing family; her brother Sebastian is the WBC/WBO super-welterweight champion, and her father Freddy is a longtime trainer. Recognized broadly for her achievements, she was named female boxer of the year in 2024 by the Ring, BWAA, and ESPN. On social media, Fundora has built an engaged audience with over 210K followers on Instagram and roughly 65K on X. Her charisma and talent have begun drawing comparisons to high-profile male champions; she herself cited Cuban star Canelo Alvarez as someone whose reputation “shifted attention to the name,” not just opponents.
Ayelén “Piru” Granadino
Granadino, born on February 14, 1998, in Mar del Plata, Argentina, represents her country at 27 years old with poise and pride. Wearing an orthodox stance, she fights at flyweight and stands 5’2″, standing in stark contrast to Fundora’s imposing size. Her pro journey began in 2018, and with a record of 12–2–4 (one knockout), she’s built her résumé through resilience and opportunism. Her early career included two notable fights in France, against Marie Connan, resulting in a split decision draw followed by a narrow decision win. Most recently, she defeated Micaela Luján via a majority decision on June 25, 2025, clinching the WBA eliminator and securing her shot at undisputed gold.
Known for an 8.33% knockout rate typical in women’s divisions, Granadino relies on a high punch volume and durability. Described by the WBA ranking panel as a “seasoned competitor,” she’s ranked No. 3 by WBA, No. 6 by WBO, and No. 8 by IBF. Ahead of the bout, she respected Fundora: “Gabriela Fundora is a great fighter… I can’t wait to bring the four championship belts back to Argentina with me”.
Road to September 20
The event is being promoted by Golden Boy Promotions, helmed by Oscar De La Hoya, under its growing influence in women’s boxing.

Tactical Breakdown How the Styles Match Up
Fundora’s game is rooted in technical precision using her jab, height, and reach to control distance. Her record shows she’s comfortable working both at a long range and taking opponents to the body as opportunities present themselves. Her southpaw stance and tactical discipline reflect Olympic-level training and familial guidance.
Granadino, in contrast, diminishes space with pressure, using volume punching and persistence to overwhelm opponents. Her low KO rate doesn’t reflect a lack of power but a strategic focus on attrition breaking opponents down over ten rounds. Her willingness to travel abroad and win in hostile territory shows mental toughness and adaptability.
Analysts believe Fundora’s reach and technical edge favor her, but they concede that underestimating Granadino’s stamina would be a mistake. If Granadino can cut off the ring quickly forcing Fundora to fight inside, the pace may shift in her favor.
Stakes Beyond the Belts
For Fundora, a successful defense will further cement her dominance in women’s boxing and fuel speculation of a move up to super flyweight or even targeting marquee names like Chantelle Cameron or Yokasta Valle. She has often said she wants her name to carry prestige like Canelo’s bigger than any opponent.
A win for Granadino would be historic, marking one of the biggest upsets in female boxing history. It would transform her from road-warrior underdog to national hero in Argentina, with endorsements and global recognition to follow. Her hunger and resilience underscored by her words signal a challenge that Fundora cannot take lightly.
