Evelin Bermudez got her belts back. The former IBF and WBO junior flyweight champion regained both world titles after defeating Tania Enriquez by unanimous decision on Friday night, 97-93, 96-94, 97-93. With the win, Bermudez (18-1-1, 6 KO) rebounded from her first career loss to Yokasta Valle last year and remained at No. 2 in ESPN’s junior flyweight rankings. It’s the first loss for Enriquez (20-1, 9 KO), who remains ESPN’s No. 5 junior flyweight.
This could set up two interesting fights for Bermudez — either an undisputed title fight against WBA and WBC titleholder Jessica Nery Plata or a fight against Kim Clavel, who lost to Nery Plata in a unification fight in January. Yesica Yolanda Bopp would also be an interesting opponent as the former longtime WBA champion in the division before losing to Nery Plata.
Enriquez, only 26, should get another shot down the line, too.
At heavyweight, Lani Daniels (7-2-2) beat Sequita Hemingway (1-3) by unanimous decision. The win moved Daniels up to ESPN’s No. 1 heavyweight because Hanna Gabriels has not fought since 2021. Both Gabriels and Danielle Perkins, who had been ESPN’s No. 2 fighter in the division, have been removed for inactivity.
Hannah Rankin (13-6, 3 KO), in her first fight since losing her WBA junior middleweight title to Terri Harper last year, beat Logan Holler (9-3-1, 3 KO) on points. Holler has now lost her last three fights. Rankin, once ranked in the division by ESPN, is close to that standing once again.
Also over the weekend, in Belgium, Femke Hermans (15-4, 6 KO), who had been ranked before by ESPN, stopped Katarina Vistica (3-25, 1 KO) in the fifth round of a fight that really had little business happening from a record standpoint.
Welterweight prospect Lauren Price (3-0, 1 KO) beat Naomi Mannes (6-2, 4 KO) by unanimous decision (80-72 three times) in France and in Philadelphia at welterweight, American Olympian Oshae Jones (2-0) beat Dahianna Santana (40-15, 16 KO) by unanimous decision.
Another interesting prospect, featherweight Sarah Liegmann (7-0, 2 KO) knocked out Diana Kulinova (4-6, 2 KO) in the second round in Germany and at lightweight, Rhiannon Dixon (8-0, 1 KO) got the first stoppage of her career with a sixth-round TKO of Vicky Wilkinson (5-1-1). Dixon is putting herself in position for bigger fights in the future.
This Thursday, Jessica Camara (10-3, 2 KO), ESPN’s No. 4 junior welterweight, takes on Karla Ramos Zamora (9-9-1, 2 KO) on the undercard of the Jean Pascal vs. Michael Eifert IBF light heavyweight eliminator at Place Bell in Laval, Canada.
Rankings will be updated every Tuesday. They’ll be based on recent bouts, head-to-head competition and the quality of opponent. As with almost everything, until fighters square off against one another, there is a layer of subjectivity to it. Fighters who haven’t fought in 18 months and don’t have a fight scheduled will be removed from the rankings until they fight again.
