Early life
editHailing from East Los Angeles, Estrada is of Mexican descent and started boxing at the age of eight.[1]
Professional career
editEstrada won the vacant WBC female Silver light flyweight title with a fourth-round stoppage success against Debora Rengifo at Plaza de Toros Calafia, Mexicali, Mexico, on 17 November 2018.[2]
She became the interim WBA flyweight title holder with a technical decision win over Marlen Esparza at MGM Grand Garden Arena, Paradise, Nevada, on 2 November 2019. The fight was stopped on the advice of the ringside doctor before the start of the final round due to a serious cut on Esparza's forehead caused by an accidental clash of heads with Estrada taking the victory by virtue of being ahead on all three judges' scorecards at that stage.[3][4]
On July 24, 2020, Estrada scored the fastest knockout in women's boxing history, stopping 42-year-old Miranda Adkins, who came in as a late replacement of an injured Jacky Calvo, just seven seconds into the first round of their scheduled eight round contest at Fantasy Springs Resort Casino, Indio, California.[5][6]
Estrada won her first full world title when she defeated WBA female minimumweight champion Anabel Ortiz by unanimous decision at Dickies Arena, Fort Worth, Texas, on 21 March 2021.[7]
She became a two-weight world champion in her next fight by dethroning WBO female junior flyweight title holder Tenkai Tsunami via unanimous decision at Banc of California Stadium, Los Angeles, on 9 July 2021.[8][9]
Estrada was named WBA Female Boxer of the Year for 2021.[10] In 2022, she signed a multi-year promotional contract with Top Rank.[11]
Estrada became a unified world champion on 25 March 2023, by adding the WBC female minimumweight title to her WBA crown with a unanimous decision victory over Tina Rupprecht at Save Mart Center, Fresno, California.[12][13] She also claimed the inaugural Ring female strawweight title thanks to this win.[14]
On March 29, 2024 at the Desert Diamond Arena in Glendale, Arizona, Estrada defeated IBF and WBO champion Yokasta Valle by unanimous decision to take the undisputed minimumweight title.[15][16]
Estrada announced her retirement from professional boxing on 23 October 2024.[17][18][19]
