Early life

Hailing from East Los Angeles, Estrada is of Mexican descent and started boxing at the age of eight.[2]

Professional career

Estrada 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.[3]

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.[4] [5]

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.[6] [7]

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.[8]

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.[9] [10]

Estrada was named WBA Female Boxer of the Year for 2021.[11] In 2022, she signed a multi-year promotional contract with Top Rank.[12]

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.[13] [14] She also claimed the inaugural Ring female strawweight title thanks to this win.[15]

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.[16] [17]
