Weight of expectation as Gabriela Fundora and Viviana Ruiz clear the scale for their undisputed duel

The final obstacle before the opening bell has been overcome with aplomb.

This afternoon, undisputed flyweight champion Gabriela “Sweet Poison” Fundora and her challenger, Colombia’s Viviana Ruiz Corredor, fulfilled the official weigh-in without setbacks,

marking the beginning of hostilities for the great gala at the Honda Center.

Both warriors looked in impeccable physical condition, stopping the scale below the 112-pound limit, confirming that the preparation has been elite for this total unification clash.

Gabriela Fundora (15-0, 6 KOs), recently recognized as the 2024 Fighter of the Year, stepped onto the scale with the confidence granted by her absolute dominance in the category.

At just 23 years old, the tall champion seeks her sixth successful defense, attempting to validate once again that her height and reach are an enigma without a solution for her opponents.

For the Fundora family, this is the first step of a historic month, before her brother Sebastián defends his own WBC title on March 28.

Viviana Ruiz Corredor showed stoic determination during the face-to-face after the weigh-in. The Colombian, who has successfully forged her career in Australia, arrives with the agility and speed necessary to try to break the champion’s rhythm.

With a solid record and the motivation to conquer all four world belts, Ruiz Corredor represents a high-risk challenge that will test the resistance of the absolute monarch.

The card at the Honda Center in Anaheim is shaping up to be one of the most relevant of the first quarter of the year. After clearing the scale, the stage is set for a battle where Fundora’s technique will be measured against the hunger for glory and the explosive counterpunching of Ruiz.

Gabriela Fundora: 110.8 lbs

Viviana Ruiz: 111.8 lbs
