(APR 27) Tonight at the Save Mart Arena, Fresno, California, Marlen Esparza, 114, 14-1-0 (1KO), of Houston, Texas, will be fighting Gabriela Celeste Alaniz, 111 ¼, 14-1-1 (6KO), of Buenos Aires, Argentina. The two will be fighting ten rounds of action, but only Alaniz will be vying for Esparza’s four title belts.

This is a rematch for the two when they first fought on July 8, 2023, where Esparza fought Alaniz fighting for  three world title belts up for grabs, that included the WBA, WBC, and the WBO Flyweight titles. Esparza won that fight by a ten-round majority decision.

The Esparza vs. Alaniz fight will be live on DAZN. They are on the undercard of the headiner event, featuring Jose Ramirez vs. Rances Barthelemy.

At the weigh-in yesterday, Esparza weighed two pounds over the contract weight so only her opponent Alaniz, can fight for the multi-world title belts that are on the line in the fight.

The two fighters have a shared history, and this rematch provides an opportunity for redemption for Alaniz while Esparza aims to assert her dominance once again. The weight discrepancy adds an extra layer of intrigue, as Alaniz becomes the sole contender for the titles. Fans can expect a competitive and high-stakes bout between these skilled flyweight boxers.

The undercard fight holds significance for both fighters, as a win for Esparza will solidify her status as a dominant force in the flyweight division, while Alaniz has the chance to dethrone the champion and claim the coveted title belts. The stage is set for an exciting night of boxing, and fans can tune in to witness this thrilling rematch on DAZN.
