(JAN 15)  Last night at the Centro de Convenciones Vasco Núñez de Balboa (Hotel El Panama), in Panama City, Gabriela Fundora, 112, won an eight-round unanimous decision over Nataly Delgado, 111. The final judges scores was 80-71 on all cards.

The fight almost did not take place though when Fundora first tested POSITIVE for COVID at the weigh-in!

In a press release that we received, it stated the following: 

"According to a Female flyweight prospect Gabriela “Sweet Poison” Fundora’s 10-round fight tonight is back on after a more accurate PCR test she was administered came up negative for Covid today.
Coachella, California’s Fundora (4-0, 2 KOs) was set to face Santiago de Veraguas, Panama’s Nataly Delgado (8-4-1, 3 KOs) in a televised bout for the WBC Latino Flyweight Championship on tonight’s (Friday, January 14, 2022) “Box & Roll” event at the Vasco Núñez de Balboa Convention Center in the El Panama Hotel in Panama City, Panama."

The release went on to say that Fundora was shocked when testing positive for Covid, but after she was given a more accurate 24-hour PCR test by the same Lab, the results was NEGATIVE so the fight was on again.

Fundora was thrilled with the news, after she said that she had worked so hard to prepare for this fight.  She said, "I’m negative and the fight is back on!”

WBAN would like to congratulate Fundora on her win last night. They reported it was supposed to be a ten round bout, but the info on the net shows it was an eight round bout.
