Fundora vs Asenjo joins Ortiz vs Bohachuk on Aug. 10

Gabriela Fundora owns the IBF flyweight title

Gabriela Fundora won’t be diving into an undisputed title fight with Gabriela Alaniz quite yet, as Camilo Zamora of DSPORTS Chile reports that Fundora will defend her IBF flyweight title against Daniela Asenjo.

Asenjo (16-3-3, 2 KO) has never actually fought at 112, instead spending most of her career at super flyweight and once challenging for a WBA title. Her last two fights have taken place at 118, where she beat undefeated Angela Lukas for the WBC silver belt and defended it against Victoria Torres Canul.

She weighed in at 116 for the Lukas fight and regularly makes super flyweight with room to spare, so weight shouldn’t be an issue here.

Fundora (13-0, 6 KO) burst onto the scene last October with an absolute mauling of Arely Mucino to claim the belt. When a showdown with then-unified champion Marlen Esparza fell through, she returned in January to stop Christina Cruz on the Jaime Munguia vs John Ryder undercard.

I’ve still got my fingers crossed for the Alaniz fight, but it’s good to see Fundora back in action after a one-fight 2023.
