(NOV 8) LOS ANGELES —
After nearly 11 months out of the ring, Seniesa "Super Bad"
Estrada is ready to make up for lost time. Estrada, who signed a
long-term promotional pact with Top Rank earlier this year, will
defend her WBA minimumweight world title Saturday against Jazmin
Gala Villarino at Pearl Concert Theater at Palms Casino Resort
in Las Vegas.
Estrada-Villarino will serve as
the co-feature to the WBO middleweight world title fight between
reigning champion Janibek "Qazaq Style" Alimkhanuly and British
challenger Denzel Bentley. Promoted by Top Rank, in association
with Frank Warren’s Queensberry Promotions, tickets starting at
$25 are on sale now and can be purchased at Ticketmaster.com.
Alimkhanuly-Bentley, Estrada-Villarino,
and undercard bouts will stream live and exclusively on ESPN+ in
the U.S.
Estrada (22-0, 9 KOs), a two-weight world champion from East
Lost Angeles, is ranked No. 7 on the ESPN.com pound-for-pound
list. Before her recent layoff, Estrada had a banner 2021, going
3-0 while winning a pair of world titles. Last December, she
knocked down the previously unbeaten Maria Micheo Santizo twice
en route to a fourth-round stoppage.
As fight week kicks off, this is
what “Super Bad” had to say from her Los Angeles training camp:
“Jazmin is a tough opponent, and I know any fight can be
dangerous. She’s fighting in America for the first time and is
coming in as the underdog. This is her opportunity to become a
champion, and I am not taking her lightly. I always prepare to
be the best 'Super Bad' I can be.”
“This is my first fight with Top
Rank, and it’s the perfect time in women’s boxing to be with Top
Rank and to fight on the ESPN platform. I’ve had a nearly
11-month layoff, and I felt like I was missing out on all the
incredible things happening in the sport. I want to be the best
and stay active. Now I’m happy to be back and hopefully go for
those big unification fights that I’ve wanted and ultimately
become an undisputed champion.”
“Growing up, I didn’t have a role
model to look up to in women’s boxing. Being in a position where
I can inspire younger women is great. It makes all of my
struggles worth it. That’s what I do it for, to inspire the next
generation of women who want to accomplish great things.”
“I believe I am the best fighter at minimumweight, light
flyweight, and flyweight. My goal is to conquer all three
divisions. I want to win all the belts at 105, then go to 108
and 112."
