Constancy, dedication, true grit and heart are the pillars that reinforce the career of Lourdes Yolanda Juárez Trejo, who etched her name in golden letters in the history of women’s boxing by conquering the World Boxing Council (WBC) super flyweight world championship.
Before shining professionally, Juárez built her foundation as an amateur boxer, accumulating nearly 30 bouts in state and national tournaments, where she demonstrated her technical ability and courage in the ring from an early age.
This formative experience was crucial for her evolution as a pugilist, allowing her to develop excellent defense, mobility, and fight reading skills plus strategy.
The Mexico City fighter who is younger sister of fellow champion legendary Mariana “Barby” Juárez, debuted professionally in 2013 and, after a couple of initial setbacks, strung together a winning streak of over a dozen victories that propelled her to the main stage. Her aggressive style and polished technique made her a respected contender and fan favorite in both national and international circuits.
The pinnacle of her career came on December 12, 2020, when she defeated Guadalupe Martínez by unanimous decision in Mexico City to claim the WBC super flyweight title, proving that her family’s legacy remained strong and constant in the ring.
Juárez successfully defended her belt on multiple occasions against high-level rivals like Diana Fernández and Débora Gómez, consolidating herself as one of the most active and consistent champions in Mexican women’s boxing.
In October 2022, she lost her title in a close majority decision against Asley González in Tepic, and although she sought to reclaim the title in the rematch, she was again defeated by split decision.
Lourdes “La Pequeña Lulú” Juárez conquered the WBC light flyweight (108 lb) title on November 29, 2024, at the Arena Quintana Roo, Chetumal, by defeating Yesenia “La Niña” Gómez from Cancun by unanimous decision.
Subsequently, she successfully defended her title on March 7, 2025, in Tequisquiapan, Querétaro, winning by technical knockout (TKO) in the ninth round against fellow Mexican Mirna “La Diabla” Sánchez.
With a professional record of 38-4-0 (38 wins, 4 losses, 0 draws), “La Pequeña Lulú” remains a benchmark and top draw in Mexican boxing. Beyond the titles, her legacy is an example of perseverance, dedication, and passion for the sport.
