31-year-old Estrada turned pro in the year 2011 against Maria Ruiz. That night, she defeated her opponent via a unanimous decision, establishing her name loud and beyond. The years that followed saw her power through the ranks like none, winning each fight she undertook. 12 years after her debut, today, she boasts a record of 25-0, with 9 KO wins.

31-year-old Yokasta Valle is a leading name in Costa Rican boxing. Her debut in 2014 against Maria Guadalupe Atilano Gomez saw her excel on points. Post that, every fight she undertook, she would win them. However, her record suffered a dent in 2017, when she lost to Naoko Fujioka on points, following suit in her next fight against Tina Rupprecht. After that, she cemented the gap by not losing any fights. Today, she holds a grand record of 30-2, 9 victories via KO.

The titles that ‘Super Bad’ Estrada brings to the table did not come easy to her. She won the WBA belt by defeating Maria Micheo Santizo in March 2021. Last year, Tina Rupprecht was defeated, as the Californian began her WBC reign. Valle on the other hand, began her IBF reign in 2020 by defeating Carleans Rivas. 2 years later, by defeating Thi Thu Nhi Nguyen, she also grabbed the WBO belt.

That’s all about their record. But how do they fair in the physical strength department?
